This reminded me of when I was a kid and would dwadle. My Mum would tell me to get my skates on. .At the age of 5 I never really understood what she meant because I didn't have any
skates :)
Did you know the first patented roller skate was introduced in 1760 by Belgian inventor John Joseph Merlin. It wasn't much more than an ice skate with wheels where the blade goes, They were hard to steer and hard to stop because they didn't have brakes and as such were not very popular. Also skating 6 miles per hour burns 600 calories

Heritage Class Race Rover
The RoboForce was an obscure venture in which spacemen with stylish headgear piloted awkwardly designed robots and animal-based mecha using rectangular "robodisks". The RoboForce experiment was doomed from the beginning, however, due to its strange designs and poorly planed robots. Even this race rover, entered in the Galactic Terrestrial Rover Racing League suffers from the same lack of support from its investors and design problems, like the undersized wheels from which the Rollerskate gets its name.
Around this same time, the GTR-RL was declining in popularity, and its future was in jeopardy...
For more on the origin of the GTR-RL, watch the video trailer.
The GTR-RL is organized into three classes of racing rovers.
Heritage class rovers are built using only elements available to the theme of the racer. (i.e. a space police 1 race rover would be built using only parts from the 1989 space police theme.) Heritage class rovers represent Lego space themes up through the insectoid theme of 1998-99.
Modern class rovers are built in the same way, but represent Lego space themes from the 2001 theme Life on Mars, through present day space themes.
Unlimited class rovers are built with an unrestricted element palette and can represent Collectible Minifig themes or fan themes such as Pinktron and Suntron, etc
