Oh, okay. I could definitely see that being reinstated, though, if this event ever moves out of trial status.Jocool wrote:I am mistaken. That was a Car of Tomorrow rule that did not carry over into MagLev.

Re: MagLev Vehicle B/C
What kind of tracks did the New York State trial use?
Was it the race track or clear track?
If the race track, did it have magnets on it already?
did you guys buy it from KELVIN?

Re: MagLev Vehicle B/C
Firstly, is this a trial event at nationals? And where could I find pictures of a maglev vehicle?

EDIT: Also, where would the propeller(s) go?

Re: MagLev Vehicle B/C
Do you know where to buy the three pronged propellers? Because I went to my local hobby store but the smallest three pronged propeller was pretty big, about 5 inches long.ryang353 wrote:I recommend three pronged propellers. These seem to preform the best, however, they begin to get inefficient after their diameter gets over 4-5 inches. Btw, does anyone know if rechargeable nine volt batteries are allowed?

Re: MagLev Vehicle B/C
Also, what's a chassis tower? I know what a chassis is but the wiki doesn't explain the chassis tower very well. Pictures would be helpful.

Re: MagLev Vehicle B/C
A chassis tower is the tower that carries the motor(s).

Re: MagLev Vehicle B/C
Should it just look like a small tower on the back of the vehicle? Should the vehicle itself look more like an airplane or a levitating car?
