Scrambler B
Re: Scrambler Rules
its not suppose to do that. what wheels are you using? maybe one of them isn't fully touching the ground. maybe one of the wheels have more friction than the other. post a video so we can see exactly what's happening.

Re: Scrambler Rules
i'm back!!! (nevermind that, though) i started building my not-finished-scrambler a couple days ago, and i had a couple of problems, but this is my main.
1) my scrambler has a pretty bad skid. i'm trying to put something on the wheels, and do you have any suggestions?

Re: Scrambler Rules
What are you using for wheels? I personally use CD's with rubber bands around the edge.

Re: Scrambler Rules
yea, pretty much any wheels you can add rubber bands around them and they'll work pretty good.

Re: Scrambler Rules

Re: Scrambler Rules
I made an animation of how I think nickfastswim's scrambler worked, and put it on the wiki. It should be self-explanatory, but ask if you want more info.
Here's a link to it: http://scioly.org/wiki/Image:SC-Nickfastswim.gif
Here's the photo of the release mechanism:
