I mostly agree with you Tony;
I don't think that a 3 vote system is not primarily to manipulate the outcome, but it is to ease the voting process.
I myself had initially four karts that are different enough and awesome enough to really earn it, one didn't make it and the other you see as the top three here.
It would've helped
me alot if I could have voted for all of these.
Honestly,
the pipe kart is just great, I never thought that making a pvc pipe kart is even possible so for ingenuity, that would have been my vote;
the Ariel thing is awesome, the time it took Jay to build THAT?? I'm amazed (ashamed almost)
So for craftmanship, this would have been my vote.
yours, I love your kart, I love the effort you put into it, and the details.
I'm a fan of details
And although
I don't like anything[wink wink] I liked it.
So, for the show and shine vote that'd been it.
I could only vote for one, so one it was and it was a
pain to make that decision.
(and it wasn't impartial I'm afraid)
And because of that I totally agree, a multiple choice vote would have helped me here.
