Off Road Vehicle Contest - With Engine (Phun/Algodoo)
Posted: Sat Oct 08, 2011 7:11 am
Hi everyone.
It's been a long time since any decent contest has been held here on the forums, but that is about to change with this one.
This is a remake of Kilinich's Contest that was held about 2 years ago.
You have an 8 cylinder parallel motorbike-style engine which you are to use in building your off road vehicle. Unfortunately the engine is not too powerful, so you may have to work around that with transmissions and light-weight vehicles. The course is 1 km long.
So let's get to it.
Rules:
The winner is simply the person who completes the course the fastest with their vehicle. There will be 2 winners, one from Algodoo section and one from Phun section.
I will be running the vehicles in order to get the times on my computer, so it will be fair.
The time is automatically displayed at the end of the course.
Award:
You get bragging rights among the community, and also I will make you something if you wish.
End Time:
This contest will officially end on November 7, 2011. After this date the scores will be posted (if not before this date) and no more entries allowed.
The Scene:
Here is everything you will need:
Press Enter to begin your race. For the engine, it is Right Arrow to start engine in the right direction, and Down Arrow to brake engine (toggle).
Questions and Edits:
If you have any questions, or find any bugs with the scene/engine that need fixing, please post here so we can make this contest the best it can be!
Oh, your vehicle must be posted as scene response to the original scene! Otherwise it will not be counted.
Start your engines!
