Re: Scrambler B
Judging by 2.e it seems like that would be alright, so long as the backstop is rigid and flat, and is not designed to cushion the egg. You should submit a FAQ to be sure, however (and even then it depends on the individual event supervisor).seadog wrote:Hello I am from New Jersey and I am on the event scrambler.

Depends on your design.

Re: Scrambler B
The rules. Read them. Then read them again. Make sure you understand all the various construction and competition parameters. Then check out the Scrambler wiki page on this website.Jesusfather123 wrote:Hi , Can anyone guide with scrambler. This is first time, where to start with?

What size of axles did you use for your 3d printed car?

Re: Scrambler B
The non-threaded axle was a 0.125" stainless steel rod, and the threaded axle either had 6-32 or 8-32 threads. Since the diameters are different, different wheel hubs are needed for each axle.kendreaditya wrote:What size of axles did you use for your 3d printed car?bernard wrote:I won't say how long my rubber band is because I don't know and it is also a detail you should experiment with.
