when testing before regionals on a tile florr i was getting consistant of up to 5 cm of. When i got to regionals and launched on the gym, laminated wood planks, it slammed into the wall. i had the brakes calibrated exactly how they were for testing.

Re: Scrambler B
if there is no covering then it would be tile with a covering i have no clue how to test that-- a lot of schools wouldn't have that surfacePhenylethylamine wrote:If I recall correctly, at Nationals, it's being held in a cafeteria.

Re: Scrambler B
Scrambler has so many pics in the image gallery. It's amazing. I doubt that anybody could have trouble coming up with a design after looking through those pics.
