Re: MagLev C
Another idea would be to make it a time to distance test and for the bonus a random weight could be added
And no bonus for weight of the sled

Re: MagLev C
The winning car was 7.1 kg at .85 seconds for a ~8350 at 64 cm (or at least that's the car score of the winning team). I'm not sure how good solon was, but I believe their score was slightly worse, or maybe we just beat them on the test. It would be interesting if they released the full score sheet in the test packet like they did last year.

Re: MagLev C
I'll most likely post a few videos of our robot arm, gravity vehicle, and maglev online this week. Ill post a link to it when I get around to it.hmcginny wrote:The winning car was 7.1 kg at .85 seconds for a ~8350 at 64 cm (or at least that's the car score of the winning team).

Re: MagLev C
For the Poudre Build Team the final scores at Nationals were:
Gliders - 1st place + $1500 scholarship to school of choice
Gravity Vehicle - 2nd place
Robot Arm - 3rd place. We would have been second if not for a last minute rule clarification that was misinterpreted
Maglev - 6th place
Boomilever - 9th place
Remote Sensing (One build team member and one non-build team partner) - 1st place + $1000 scholarship to school of choice
With only three members, we were the second best build team at Nationals
Coming soon: A picture of our amazing suits.

Re: MagLev C
Poudre's maglev weighed 2400 grams and traveled the distance of 64 cm in 0.5 seconds. Unfortunately, we greatly overestimated our capabilities and our predicted time was off by 0.12 seconds. My partner and i felt very confident on the test, so we were surprised to learn that we only score 23/50.
Does anyone know the first two American inventors that theorized maglevs?

Re: MagLev C
From what I know, I believe it was James Powell and Gordon Danby from Brookhaven National Laboratory. I'm not quite sure if they were indeed the first, but I know they were at least one of the first.plaidsuitguy1 wrote:Does anyone know the first two American inventors that theorized maglevs?

Re: MagLev C
7.1kg?? That's insane! I'm not nearly as good at this event as most people on this thread, but I can't even imagine the magnets on a track supporting that kind of weight, let alone having it travel the distance in under a second... How on Earth does one accomplish this?hmcginny wrote:The winning car was 7.1 kg at .85 seconds for a ~8350 at 64 cm (or at least that's the car score of the winning team).

Re: MagLev C
haha, . Look at the highlight video at 1:46. We'll probably post another video of the car and track later this week.GeoChamp96 wrote:7.1kg?? That's insane!
