I think we will be dealing with making the MTV curve much like electric vehicle during the 2016-2017 season.

Re: Rule change for mtv guesses?
Another interesting idea would be a sorta-kinda-hovercraft-like event, where you have a target distance factor in the points, as well as a target time factor.

I'm thinking something along the lines of a curve like Scrambler had with a 5 gallon bucket, in addition to the reverse and stuff from this year.

Oh! Then you'll do great if the goal is for the vehicle to avoid the target point!

Re: Rule change for mtv guesses?
I hope they implement some way to make timing more precise. Human timers just can't compete with a photogate. Of course, this would probably mean that we wouldn't be reversing.

Why not though? You could time the going and coming back using one photogate in fact.Fridaychimp wrote:I hope they implement some way to make timing more precise. Human timers just can't compete with a photogate. Of course, this would probably mean that we wouldn't be reversing.

Re: Rule change for mtv guesses?
Not all photogate systems are designed to allow timing off triggering a single photogate twice. Even if you did have such a system, remember that MTVs tend to have, in addition to the dowel, some gigantic lever that goes up into the air. xDPM2017 wrote:Why not though?
