Re: Competitive Times for Nationals
Times are cool and more "fun". But I am more curious at how accurate people are. Whos consistantly getting within 1 cm runs? I am consistantly under 5cm. 2nd run usually under 3cm (sometimes right on the button). I still don't think the fastest car will win.
Anybody try a brake system other than wingnut?

Re: Competitive Times for Nationals
No definitely accuracy is more important than time, but still if you have multiple teams who are very accurate it could come down to time

Re: Competitive Times for Nationals
Yea we kinda got carried away by speed. We are most likely not going to place high because of that. Our accuracy wavers at around less than 6-7 cm
Working on it though, we have plans to improve, but tbh, the teams that medal will all be under 3 cm for sure, maybe even 2. Between them, the fastest wins. I'm expecting 3 second cars under 2-3 cm will place.

Re: Competitive Times for Nationals
You guys all make me feel bad . I have not even managed to get closer than 5cm, averaging around 30 cm off. I was celebrating when I got 9 cm off but after reading your posts ...
I think my accuracy is terrible because my car skids so much. It could be running straight as an arrow, but the wingnut brake engages and the whole thing fishtails. I have missed the center line bonus so many times because of this. Any ideas on reducing skid?
I think maybe reducing weight (and therefore momentum) might help. I am using T81 3 7/8 inch Banebots wheels.

Re: Competitive Times for Nationals
I would say just reduce your speed. How fast is your car going? The car I'm running w/my partner rn is relatively fast but we can't notice any visible skidding, and we have no unique thing helping our car not skid

Re: Competitive Times for Nationals
About 2.7 seconds. I can't change anything right now, as my states competition is tomorrow. But if my team makes it to nationals, I may try reducing speed to increase accuracy. I went overboard with the speed, too, like you had once said before.
