Re: Power source
Oh thanks didn't know that. Any idea why it's like that? I don't see why having it in carry-on would be any safer (I mean I guess luggage could roll around or something). It's easy to screen carry-on luggage to make sure there aren't too many batteries being carried on. It's harder to do that with ...

Re: Motor Breaking HELP
OK, before anyone posts another word, this typo is hurting me. Braking is not breaking. We DO want our EV's to brake on any mm mark given. We DO NOT want to break our motors.

Re: EV Scores at Nationals
I dont think the winning score will be quite that low because the uncertainty at that speed is huge (not to mention 2 dimensional), so first will probably be a very fast car (1.6 sec) which is usually accurate to like 10-15 cm which gets like 3-5 cm off, so around 20 pts. It honestly comes down to ...

Re: Pictures, Videos, Scores

Re: Scrambler C
One other change that I could see would be similar to what happened with Maglev- Having the vehicle always go the same distance, and instead of being as fast as possible, have a 'target time'. For example, the distance might always be 10 meters, but there's a time window of 5-15 seconds that you ha...

Re: MagLev C
In response to anyone who is concerned about a stopping mechanism, you can always reverse the polarity of magnets at the very end of the track you're using it would make the Mag Lev just stick down and stopping immediately instead of flying dangerously off of the track or into a barrier that may dam...
