Re: Mission Possible C
Yeah, I should be getting something similar: 20x20x30, perfect sort & time, all transfers but 1 EMS...the trick & challenge is going to be making it reliable.

Re: MagLev C
Actually, I would be careful about doing this - the rules say that you can only let propellers and their casing extend outside the rails, so putting magnets on the outside would probably be a violation.lepidolite wrote:Any rules about having magnets on the outside of the track in addition to the inside?

Re: Mission Possible C
First, a reminder this isn't the place for official clarifications or statements.... That said, if we were hypothetically looking at issuing one of the following 2 clarifications, which would you think is the best route to go for the overall benefit of everyone (e.g. competitors, event supervisors,...

Re: Mission Possible C
Thank you for your input Uncle Fester, I would have to agree with everything you said. For the rules not saying to or from I used line 4b to argue that the left column was being counted because they mention that " An Energy Transfer can receive points when it directly transfers from one Basic ...
