Hi,

You'll find all details : http://www.algodoo.com/algobox/details.php?id=40400

Hi, you need to create your own "car" able to pass every rock to the end.

You need to respect the litle enclosure to make your car ( not toooo big )

This contest is possible, mine run successfully, even tires at 30rpm:)

You can recover your car on tires after every rock.
Minimal car should be like this : o-o

It's forbiden to make your car runing too fast to jump higher than rocks. It's stupid, so you need to make your car runing slowly.


Good luck

It's not a race against time, so you need to count number of recover to pass every rock. Also please upload your car, to check if your car is really able to win

This contest will end the 1st July.

You need more rules and a better scoring system.

Also, contests shouldn't be your first post.

Chronos is right.

However, this is a good idea for a contest, and with a little more effort you could make it into something people just HAVE to participate in because it's just that awesome.

Yeah, Read the guidelines and i'll take part.

At least its better (way better) than orlicks

yup. looks like i might enter a flying vehicle

What he said. Work on your rules a bit and you should start off with a scenes thread to get you used to the forum. Not bad for a first contest though...

i dont know about the track, but this would be a fun contest

perhaps it would be better to make the track progressive, like starting with common easier obsticals and moving to boulders and then hills and a mountain. Rather than crazy hills and stuff

boulders would hopefully negate the ability to just have a front heavy car, since you have to start at nearly a wall like this ( )
and the hills would make it difficult to make a tall vehicle as the crawler

that is my input as to possible changes

questions: any limits to number of axels like 8.. bonus points, are there available bonus points to alternative engines etc

i will give a shot at this contest as is, but i would like to see these suggestions go in to effect

I echo these sentiments exactly.

Hi,

Thank you for all your post.

I don't want a chrono for scoring because like in real Trial, it's not a race against time.

Just count number of fault - Recovery after a rock -

Also, I really think that this track is easy for 2-3th rocks, but really hard ( insane ) for 2 last.

You can build any vehicle with axles or tires, I just want to limit to :

- Need to fit in Litle garage at the beggining
- Do not fly or jump rocks.

IMO, Make a front heavy car and you'll be unable to finish

and alternative engine bonus?
like using a bounce engine or spring engine or something?

a front heavy car could finish, it just has to have good placement of the front tire and such

ok, i better get to work!

Is putting a thruster on the top of a car to create downforce legal?

I would assume not, but nothing says you can't in the rules. Also for anyone planning on making a flying vehicle, the rules say a "car" which implies it stays on the ground.

He misspelled my name!

Anyway, you couldn't really call this a contest. I would call it a race. It doesn't seem that bad, but contest just isn't the right word.

The contest is about to create a car to finish the race with less penality. ( ? )

@sheepborg : Create this heavy front car and show me

Heh, I like your style. My best bet to make this work is to have no suspension on the front wheel of something similar to my kamaz 8x4. Basically a long chassis you eliminate most problems.
and to spin the front wheel a good bit faster.
i really just dont want to waste time making an additional scene. maybe my entry will be front heavy just for show

for my entry to the contest i am working to utilize rotation

this is my entry it is a camaro with a monster truck suspension enjoy!
