It sounds like you were applying the German Engineering principle to the cart design. Idid this with my Cart Version #2, which was overly complicated and slow. I had 4 wheels, a huge base, and two compartments for the coconuts. I think the physics engine in this simple little program is actually pretty good, as the separate coconut compartments added to the instability of the cart. I would often hit a jump and land on the front of the cart and endo, spilling all the coconuts on the ground.

Let me know your results. I am curious to see if anyone can beat 0:15 seconds.
