See who can get 100% of the coconuts to the finish with the most ridiculous looking cart.

I like that idea.

As stated earlier, connection speed determines your cart's speed, but the clock ticks to real time.

I almost got all the coconuts in there. haha. The cool thing is...I ended up flipping in the middle of it. but I was able to keep going. I lost most of my coconuts though.

I was able to get 99% and all the coconuts there with this design. I probably would have been faster if I didn't have to pause at the beginning to get them all in there.

I can't get it to go nearly fast enough to make it quicker than 25 seconds. Even if I had the most perfect design...it still isn't going fast enough.
I can't even get a single wheel across the game in under 25 sec - I think some computers just get you faster times or something.

It's possible. When at home it seemed to run a lot faster than when at work...and my home computer is FAR faster. Doesn't seem like that should make a difference though.
