Hello guys,
I am back after a pretty long brake. Take a look at this... (sorry if pics are a bit blurry )
















I have some questions, what should i take as next element? I thought about a huge helix-type element above the station and then a big corkscrew to a spiral, is that good layout? (i will use a nxt for the brake run and station )

That looks amazing! I like the idea of a mantis style turn around. (the one after the dive loop)

I like it, great job on the piece preservation on the base

[CartRacer56]

i would go with a loop next after the drop ya know it just... fits

Thanks! I'm still thinking about the first element but good idea!

Yeah, i like a base like this when i'm working with tubes.

^^Like i said, i'm still thinking about the first element but good idea!

What do you use to activate the Brake run? A sensor, or like a set time from after you launch the program? I'm curious as I recently got an Ev3 Mindstorm. As for the ride, shaping looks great, and I think a loop would look nice after the drop.

I think an immelmann/dive loop will go great, since this type of drop calls for a bit more of a compact layout, so making a turn-around element right off the bat should make the coaster look more contained.

Was the pun in the first post intended and no one saw it or something? I really like NXT combined with the coaster, they always make for a great one. Can't wait to see more!

That looks very nice. Base and shaping all together looks fantastic.

[Mister Piglette]

Basically what he said^ Everything looks fine so far.

Nice! Looking at the pictures again, this reminds me of the style of Maarten's Full Circuit.

I will use a sensor that toughess the train when he comes in the brake run, then will the program activate, and yeah, it is a loop now.

Maybey as next element a dive loop would be cool.

Its my first time that i use my nxt in a rollercoaster, but i made a prototype before, and nice that you are so motivated!

Thanks mate!

As I said i'm here with a new update! and it is a pretty big one, i let the pictures speak for themselves...














I finished the engine of the lift too.








What do you guys think about this update?

[-=Zach=-]

Perfect! Everything looks great, please continue.

[iCoaster44]

Awsome shaping !
I suggest to put more laterals for less shakyness. That's a lot of rubber bands for the 12V plugs !

Thanks and i will!

Thankyou! I add 2 more tubes to the loop so don't worry!

Got some new pictures here! I made the brake run, add the NXT to the motors and tried some programs on the coaster already, i just have some problems with the second element, i tried a helix already but it actually doesn't fit that good so i have to use something else than a regular helix. To finish the layout now i have to made a 'helix' type element, then a corkscrew trough the loop then a spiral to a little hil into the brake run. Lets take a look to this! (BTW: anyone now a good name? I thought about Phabillias, should take that?

It's unbelievable how perfect this coaster is! I can't believe my eyes!

[Connector1o1]

It's so fantastic, it's great what do you have done in the space you have so far. The loop is incredible.

[Jumpge]

You incorporated the NXT really nicely into the K'NEX base. I like it!

[JayketheKid]

This coaster is like McDonald's, mmmm I'm lovin, it.
