nice, balancing it must of been hard. what were the rules for the contest? o and how did the automatic transmission work? this was pretty damn cool, I wish we had K'NEX competitions around here.
@Scerab Actually using four points of contact, two on top, two on bottom, it created a squeezing mechanism on the wire. The automatic transmission worked by the chain it was connected to. Once the opponent pulled, it caused a middle rod to shift to the right. Then the gear ratio would switch from 1:1 to a smaller gear:larger gear, giving it amazing torque.
Where did you get that large blue gear? I would really like to know. Also awesome cable car.

@Gameboytri77a Actually it was like a tug of war. So we were pulling against another K'Nex car.
