Hello all! Just an update to what rules I think should be included in an all-out
drag racing competition. First off, there should be five classes, four with
limitations on the number of motors (1-4 motors), and the fifth would be an
unlimited class, with no limitations on number of motors. More classes would be
added if enough people are interested (I would say if at least 2 were interested
in a class), such as a rubberband class or pneumatics class. If not enough
people were interested, rubberbands and pneumatics would probably be included in
the unlimited class. And, yes, if you have four or fewer motors, you can compete
in the unlimited class also. The motors would have to be controlled by a 9v
battery box. Any 9v motor can be used, except the RC buggy motors can only be
used in the unlimited class. The battery box(es) do NOT have to be attached to
the car, but you will have to hold them (and run after the car if neccesary).
I’m not sure how long the track should be, however. Suggestions? I was also
thinking of limiting and/or requiring a minimum weight, and also having size
requirements, but decided not to as it would lead to too many classes, but it
would work if each motor class had specific weight and size rules to adhere to.
I would like to know if more people are interested in this type of competition.
And I would love your input on the rules (do you like them, what changes do you
think need to be made). But I have not yet thought about how to race them, such
as launching, stopping, timing them, or recording speeds. I would post the
results on the internet for everyone to see, and also the rules when I finalize
them.
Thanks and Keep on Building,
Max

| Would anyone be interested in a LEGO drag racing competition? I don't have anything firm on paper right now, but I do have ideas. I think that it would be limited to four motors, but it would not be a robotics drag race, just an all out race to the (...) (21 years ago, 16-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
