That is a great idea. Now I can build something to crawl on in my storage room. Here in Germany it rains alot so I can't go crawling much, also on post there is not that much crawling places. Good job!!!!!!!!!!

Oh yes the MIlk crate crawler course I have seen these somewhere else very ingenious looks like a ton o fun.

These were a huge hit at the NW Hobby Expo. George did an awesome job on these things, they are challenging, versatile, have better traction than most real rock, and most of all, they are just super-cool

Thanks for all the accolaids guys! I'll update it again with more specifics about the cube designs I've refined.

The project went through several phases of construction with lots of trial and error also lots of good advise and feedback.

You can see some of my early prototypes in the chit chit forum here.
Indoor Rock Course?

are they waterproof when dry ? can they stay outside without melting in the rain?

Aside from the above [enter George Bush word] confusery, this is an excellent idea.

Frank Rizzo · 06-19-2008, 09:41 PM

Do you have a rough cost and weight for each cube?

Thanks guys. They wont melt in the rain and my set up was definitely over $500. Cheers!

Wonderful work. Thanks for the "how to"

I think my empty corner in the basement might get a remodel

dandaman · 12-10-2008, 10:06 AM

where was the indoor course at that debut them at.was it a show?

Pdog7 · 12-10-2008, 02:57 PM

Great idea, endless set-up options. Good alternative to the ton of rock in my basement floor. Those probably don't hurt when dropped on a toe

muddog27 · 12-12-2008, 05:57 PM

cool now I can make some. I was looking up how to make something like this and had no luck.

Dad Dong · 12-13-2008, 07:54 PM

Wow! That looks awesome. I want to build one myself except I am looking to cut the cost down by about $500!!!

QuicherKryan · 04-24-2009, 07:20 AM

Great planning and execution! Thanks for the picture show and narrative!

jimbiss · 04-24-2009, 09:37 AM

nice idea, good job

fernando · 04-24-2009, 10:28 PM

That was a great idea. You my friend have alot of talent.

J-Rock · 04-24-2009, 10:41 PM

Thank god I have a free weekend and $200 bucks to waste on crates and dental cement. I am going to give it a shot this weekend. I am a fairly creative guy so I figure I will post some pics on here if everything goes well. Thanks for the amazing ideas.

guitarbob · 04-25-2009, 10:20 PM

Best idea for an indoor course I've seen.

I live in an upstairs apartment and my son and I have gotten a few rocks form some farmer fields but I worry about the weight on the floor. So this would be a great alterative. And the fact that you can spin each crate four ways would let us change the course over and over again.
