Thats another scrambler thing, Guess I better not throw out the car yet.

i have a good one build already a few of the parts are from a wheeled vehicle so it is good to keep all devices most of the time you can reuse them

I'm trying to find some old rules, anyone here have a coach who was around for this event, maybe they have an old handbook with the rules in it?

thats been my issue also my coach doesnt have any and when i google it i dont get any rules

maby eak who has done it before has somewhere to look for them?

i think soinc should have a record of past rules on the website

Oh, so you wanna do it? Anyway, for the time being we should try to get hold of eak.

I have the rules from 2002 Div B and from 1999, if someone has a question...

can you tell us the size limit and voltage limit please?

1999: 6V
2002: 5V


1999: I don't see any size stuff...maybe these were draft rules?
2002: Axle to Axle = 40 +/- 3, < 25cm track width

awesome hope they stay the same if they do i have a working ready buggy

They don't allow rules to be published anywhere except in the rules books!

It seems that this event is indeed very similar to EV...essentially EV without the use of electronics.

Battery Buggy was EV's father! Ev's grandfather was Wheeled Vehicle and its great-grandfather was Mousetrap Vehicle. Mousetrap Vehicle goes all the way back to 1987. It was the first of the "vehicle" events. One of the reason's for its demise was the fact that mousetraps made today tend to fly apart after a few runs.

Battery Buggy ran from 1999-2002.

1999 6.5V, No size limits, Time: 100pts, Distance 100pts, In Lane 10pts, Finish line 20pts
2000 3.5V, No size limits, Time: 50pts, Distance 100pts, in Lane 10pts, Finish Line 40pts
2001 3.5V 60 +/- 2cm 30cm, Time: 50pts, Distance 100pts, in Lane 10pts, Finish Line 40pts
2002 5.0V 40 +/- 3cm 25cm, Time: 50pts, Distance 100pts, in Lane 10pts, Finish Line 40pts

Here's a complete history of the "Vehicle" events. Except for Robo Billiards, they were all based on the event that preceded them. Robot events are now rotated with Mission Possible & JYC (subject to change at any time)!

Mousetrap Vehicle (87-95)
Wheeled Vehicle (96 trial, 97-98)
Battery Buggy(99-02)
Robo Billiards 2003-05
Wheeled Vehicle (04trial, 06-07)
Electric Vehicle (08-09)
