Confessions of an Automationeer, Part 157: CEL Challenge Remix Expansion Ideas

Currently, my CEL Challenge Remix spinner wheel set (link here) consists of six wheels, similar to those in the original CEL Challenge, but with a different number of options for most of them. However, I am now considering expanding the CEL Challenge Remix even further by adding two additional spinner wheels to the existing six, for a total of eight. One of these will determine its exterior color; the other will determine the exact trim/variant year (for any Era option other than Oil Crisis).

The first of these new spinners, called Exterior Color, determines the exterior color that must be used for a randomly generated build, irrespective of its shine, flake, or pearlescent effect. Its options would be as follows:

• Red
• Orange/Brown
• Yellow/Gold
• Green
• Blue
• Purple/Pink
• White
• Silver/Gray
• Black
• Any (free choice of exterior color)
• Respin (spin again)

The second spinner, titled Trim Year, would be used for selecting the required trim year for the build, referring to the final digit of its trim year. There would be 12 options for the final digit, as shown below:

• 0
• 1
• 2
• 3
• 4
• 5
• 6
• 7
• 8
• 9
• Any (free choice of trim year)
• Respin (spin again)

To tie in to this, the Lucky spinner wheel could gain four additional options: Change Color (respin the Exterior Color wheel), Change Year (respin the Trim Year wheel), Choose Any Color (replaces current Exterior Color by setting it to "Any"), and Choose Any Year (replaces current Trim Year by setting it to "Any"). With these changes in place, the number of possible specific combinations will increase even further. However, implementing them will also make the set more complicated than it already is. So although these revisions are still on the table, I will hold off on introducing them for now.
