The Wacky Race will be at NWBrickCon 2007! Will You?
This will be the 4th year that competitors have built and crashed their crazy
and wacky racers here in the Pacific Northwest!
Each year, builders of all skill levels have ramped up to the challenge of
building some odd and
crazy
racer
or to putting wheels on a castle or rolling the
death star
down the ramp.
If you remember the fun of building your ships to throw off the roof, then
the wacky race is for you. If you think that you can build the best and
craziest contraption, then the wacky race is for you. If you have a MOC that
is begging to be taken apart, then the wacky race is for you (just put some
wheels on it first).
The basic rules are simple.
Each racer must be gravity powered.
Each racer must be entirely made of LEGO parts.
Each racer must have a pilot.
This year the winner will be the racer that sends its pilot and vehicle the furthest.
The gritty details.
- - Pilots that remain with their vehicles will score 1.2 x distance from end of ramp.
- - Pilots that travel forward extra-vehicularly will score 5 x distance from launch point + distance that vehicle travels from end of the ramp.
- - Pilots that just fall off their vehicles or travel backwards will score 1 x distance of pilot from ramp + 1 x distance of vehicle to bottom of the ramp.
- - Judges have been bribed, called blind or otherwise been biased in the past. Don’t let this oppourtunity pass you by!
The ramp is wooden, 10 feet long by 2 feet wide with a height of
approximately 3 feet so the gradient is around 1 in 3.3. There is a very
small drop as you transition from ramp to floor tile.
So now you know! Don’t be left out! Get yer wacky racing fix at NWBrickCon ‘07!
