The Red Sassy

Post by william3954 »

Car for the parents/siblings race with our pack. Kinda an out there design but it was fun to build. Having the car further down the track from the starting pin (the prongs at the front) was a disadvantage towards the end of the race due to the potential energy loss.

Pretty cool design. Another issue is that the car may not set off the sensor until the main body part finishes because most sensors are in the middle of the track.

I like the design, and I really like the photography. I've attempted to photograph a few "curvy" designs like that, and my photos really didn't do the designs justice.

Indeed. That's a beautiful car, and I love the curves. But our cars must stage entirely behind the starting pin.
