The Summer Institute is like a conference for coaches to learn about the events and techniques. (I may be wrong).

Re: Mousetrap Vehicle B
Ok, so our coach probably doesn't go.
Anyway, what's the difference between Gravity and Mousetrap? Is Gravity harder of something?

Re: Mousetrap Vehicle B
First, you have to build a ramp. Then you have to build the vehicle. Then you have to make a brake.Beastybob12345 wrote:Ok, so our coach probably doesn't go.

Well, Gravity Vehicle is an event where the only force pushing the vehicle is the gravity. No mousetraps or anything.
And you have to make it stop near the designated point (braking system)
It is more complicated than that, so please correct me if I'm wrong. Check the Wiki for more info.

Re: Mousetrap Vehicle B
Oh ok, derp, should have taken the word gravity into consideration.
I'll check out the topic.
