"What to build?

This month (September) the competition is all about tracks – We want to see the coolest, toughest and strongest models with tracks.

Driving functionality is not a must, but is obviously a cool bonus – all that matters is that these are super-cool machines, using tracks!

"How does it work?

Right now you can submit models - On the 13th of September - a panel of judges consisting of designers, marketing managers, building instruction artists and more will pick out (of all submissions) 10 finalists that will then be put up for voting here on the site. Considerations for the Nominees will be based on Model, Design, build to theme and age.

"The winner will receive a prize and also continue to the Big Finale in October."

Why building a new model

[S.I]

The german site says "schienen", which are railroad tracks, and not "ketten" which would be treads.

[efferman]

is this only a translation error or have Germany a separate challenge?

[mahjqa]

I would think a translation error.

[efferman]

then it is a big translation error

German site, translated in english

In September the competition turns around Railrodtracks. We search the coolest, most creative and strongest model, which moves on railroad tracks. The model must not really could drive on the Railroad tracks, even if it would a cool bonus. All what counts is, that it is an exciting Machine what moves on railroadtracks.

Maybe somebody could submit a railroad-track maintenance truck, like this:

...or modify a Trial Truck to look like this:
