Have people actually had the course completed? I've been using 'genghisKhan' as my track seed and they always stop around 2/3 to 3/4 of the way it seems.
I got to around 200 without hacking after about 300 generations but then the terrain just gets too much for any of the little guys.
So if you want to beef them up a little, type this in javascript console:
motorSpeed = 50;
wheelMaxRadius = 2.0;
chassisMaxAxis = 2.5;
and hit New PopulationSo great ahahahaha
