Re: Car Materials.

Hi I was going to reuse some MegaBlox StruXX I used for a scrambler years back but discovered I barley have any left. Unfortunately they no longer sell StruXX. Does anyone know a product of the same material/style for the sticks or where I can get them cheap. If you have any other suggestions for m...

Re: Braking

Can someone send a picture of there breaking system. I don't know how to rebuild a spring breaking system for states without 3d printing. I do not have access to a 3d printer, so I do not know how to make the parts in order to do the spring helped wingnut breaking system. Also, do you have any spec...

Re: Triggering the Vehicle

This isn't a place to ask for pictures of a build. I'll give some suggestions though. For braking, I believe the agreed best right now is a wingnut braking system. See Here . As for release, think everyone kinda has their own thing. I already have the wingnut. I was not sure what to change about my...

Re: Vehicle Thickness

How do you get it less than 20cm. Do you use wingnut to stop, because I do, and that is the narrowest I can get it with having enough room for the wing nut to reach 12 meters distance. I used wingnut and counting revolutions. Do you have any other ideas of how to brake. Also, is there electric vehi...

Re: Score Discussion

My car is getting 4-5 second times and around 8 or less cm off target. My gap is 13 inches, which is a bonus of 33cm. Thanks, is there any way to go to nationals if your school is not going? I do not think so, but I was just wondering. I also think that I did the math right to get a score of -17. If...
