June's technic challenge

[Zerobricks]

This month (June) the competition is all about Wheels – Whether it’s an offroad terrain vehicle, a large flatbed truck, a plane, conveyor belt or otherwise – your model must contain lots of wheels!

The wheels do not necessarily need to be for driving on, they do not all need to be of the same shapes and sizes – but they must have a relevance to the model, and there must be lots of them.

For me this is such a random challenge, but who cares :).

So i suppose you can make multiple axel cranes, heavy transport units, offroad trucks, trucks with trailers...

You guys have any ideas?

Killough platform. The last one I've built needed 36 wheels, in three sets forming three omniwheels.

a centipede and the wheels are the body of it.

what does the Lego group mean with "many wheels"? Six, twelve, twentyfour, fourtyeight?

[DLuders]

Although one could make a Great Ball Contraption (GPC) conveyor belt with many wheel rollers, it wouldn't be nearly as challenging as making a "heavy haulage trailer" like these: http://www.dennisbosman.nl/lego/lego-t-spec.html . You could probably load one of your existing Lego Technic creations around with it....

It looks like Milan has a head start on building a Heavy Hauler trailer, like this (from http://www.sinotrailers.com/heavy-haul-trailers.htm ):
