At the starting line are you allowed to put your scrambler launcher and/or ETV at an angle, or does it have to be straight? Thanks!

You'll need some kind of CAD software (I recommend Tinkercad for beginners). CAD can be challenging at first but if you have a clear design of what you want to do it's not too bad. Make sure you keep track of your dimensions, etc., and it should turn out fine. :)

Well, it's possible to go that route, but you really need to experiment with what works best for you.

Generally (or so I've heard from others) you build the car to turn slightly as it runs, and then test different angles to see what distances it intersects the midline at for each angle.

Yep, this is basically what we used. It does entail a lot of experimentation, as you have to determine what works for your car (which is mostly what I meant by my previous comment, sorry if it was unclear). :)

No its ok, I at least understood. But is there any other ways. How are you aligning your car? Right now I have 2 pieces of wood going horizontally across my System with both have a line marked on it in the middle!
