^Do you know where I can find out more about such equations? I'm fine with building a model, but I know very little about the whole math portion of K'nex roller coasters...

This might make me build a tube support with a base. If any one finds out the details of how many people you need and if you need a teacher please post it.
EDIT: If burrito enters this Cedar Point will choose him right on the spot.

I'd love to enter this, but I live pretty far away, so I know right away that my school would never pay for it. I'd also love to enter, but I know it would only be me building it, so no point for giving the opportunity to my other selfish classmates. I'd just love to build a coaster just to see if I win.
Essay, eh, I'll just be like: "PHYSICS, sa asdlkfjalg;j jgl;ajr goj iasjg in centripital acceleration.alskjgka;jsogj g blah blah blah..."

Well, my only concern is the amount of people in this thing. Can there be one person in the group, or does it have to be 2+ in the group? If it is 2+, I have an idea. (I also do as well with 1 person) Can I use SSCoasters for the construction of this thing for shaping and stuff or not? I am e-mailing K'NEX a couple questions like are weights aloud on the cars, etc. so I will post my questions and answers on here as well.
I look foreward to these answers.
^ LOL Commando thats great..
