Tracks

The Big U

Chopper Thursday, 1/21/2016

Had a great time racing w/my kids this weekend. Am working on a track concept that has a two phase race: a straight drag race with a finish line followed by an open track race. You can see an early prototype of it in this video:

My daughter made the rules for this 'tournament', so you'll only see one car heading down the track one at a time. I extended it a bit so we could have a 'how far can it go' competition.

 Have plans to make a slightly more advanced version this weekend. Eventually, when my 3bot finish line arrives, I'll be able to have three lanes feed into the open track.

Hey Chopper,

I don't know if I've said "Welcome" or not...if not...Welcome!

The Fat Track turns really work well...at the right speed, the cars will go through them so well!

Welcome Chopper, you know that running 2 cars could give you one winner on the drag race and then a different winner on the road course.  .......Stroller

  • That's what I was thinking! Two tournaments happening simultaneously. — Chopper
