-Cool?
-Correctamundo. And that\'s what we\'re gonna be. We\'re gonna be cool. Now, I\'m gonna count to three, and when I count three, you let go of your mouse, and back away from the keyboard. But when you do it, you do it cool. Ready? One... two... three.

Re: Scrambler C
I have been wondering what's new too. Hopefully they increased the max mass for the falling mass. I like going fast.

Re: Scrambler C
I don't think the mass would be upped much (there were issues of denting floors and such), but I do remember some discussion last year of adding a curve to the track, so that's what I'm going for.

Re: Scrambler C
That'd be interesting as a concept of the Battery Buggy runs, but I'm not sure if it'll be the case due to the fact that there is no electronic component.

Re: Scrambler C
Hows a curved track relate to electronics?

Re: Scrambler C
For the record, this year the track is not curved, and the mass limit is still the same (2.00 kg). Once again, no electronics are allowed.
However, there are a few surprises on the track

Re: Scrambler C
Well it's not but IMO it's a bit easier to be consistent (not leaving kinetic energy reliability up to chance)iwonder wrote:Hows a curved track relate to electronics?
