EDIT: darn can't do lots of spaces. Just pretend there's a lot of space to make it like up nicely for the middle two lines

Re: Gravity Vehicle C
I would assume the ES's would measure the right-most axle.NinjaChicken wrote:http://db.tt/UQ6iyLCtonyxflame wrote: Draw it in paint or something. Then upload and give a link. Doesn't take too long.

Re: Gravity Vehicle C
However, if I was an ES, I would measure both the front and rear set of wheels.fishman100 wrote:I would assume the ES's would measure the right-most axle.NinjaChicken wrote:http://db.tt/UQ6iyLCtonyxflame wrote: Draw it in paint or something. Then upload and give a link. Doesn't take too long.

Why is that? I put a paper clip right behind the right one. I was going to put it in the middle (between front two axles), but spirit of the competition and all...

Re: Gravity Vehicle C
Well, then you could not have in an axle in the back too, and use the string braking method or something. In that case, you'd have no axle, so does that mean you are unlimited in dimensions? Unless a 3-wheeler, I would treat any pair of coaxial-looking wheels as part of an axle.NinjaChicken wrote:illusionist wrote: However, if I was an ES, I would measure both the front and rear set of wheels.

Right, maybe they just assumed everyone would make a 2-axle car.illusionist wrote: Well, then you could not have in an axle in the back too, and use the string braking method or something.

So back to your previous post, I don't understand why you said
What do you mean measure both the front and rear set of wheels?illusionist wrote: However, if I was an ES, I would measure both the front and rear set of wheels.

Re: Gravity Vehicle C
By front and rear set, I meant the front two wheels (the ones without the axle in the front of that image), and the back two wheels (the ones joined by a common axle). I would measure the distance of the outsideedes of both the front two and then the back two.

Re: Gravity Vehicle C
So for my accuracy score, there'd be what, four different scores?
