What's changed in the rules? We haven't gotten ours yet and I'm anxious to start :)

I have been wondering what's new too. Hopefully they increased the max mass for the falling mass. I like going fast.

I don't think the mass would be upped much (there were issues of denting floors and such), but I do remember some discussion last year of adding a curve to the track, so that's what I'm going for.

That'd be interesting as a concept of the Battery Buggy runs, but I'm not sure if it'll be the case due to the fact that there is no electronic component.

For the record, this year the track is not curved, and the mass limit is still the same (2.00 kg). Once again, no electronics are allowed.

However, there are a few surprises on the track ;)

Well it's not but IMO it's a bit easier to be consistent (not leaving kinetic energy reliability up to chance)
