[CrayCray for coasters]

I’ve decided to take part in the “B&M Invert Competition”, so far I have half of a coaster complete, just need to do the lift, drop and interlocking corkscrew, also waiting on a booster, that should come before the end of the competition but the 3D printed bearing hubs won’t come until like a week after the competition closes, time for the pics

These were the easiest supports and the first part I built

Even more raven roll, well I guess it is a new element

I promise this element is’nt too intense for the GP

That unuended support is for the first drop, I’ll show the supports more intricately in the next update, Now, Raven Rolls, the mix between a zero g roll and a reverse sidewinder, it has the whip of an old b&m invert’s corkscrew, so not too whippey, the laterals top at 0.25 and the minimum is 0.21 (no limits 2 results with custom physics, train weight 1 tonne stead of 10, this is to scale with the knex, is the plastic trains would have to be at least 10 kilos to be to scale with the real steel) the raven roll may look odd, but it’s comfortable and pretty intense so it should please both the enthusiasts and GP. That’s it for this update goodbyeeeeee!!!

is that each car being 10kg or the entire train being 10kg to be the right scale of weight, i mean either one is still a lot, i think my heaviest 5 car train was about 1kg lol

[CrayCray for coasters]

a five car train being 10 kilos to scale, hence why i used the custom physics in no limits 2 to bring the train down from 10t to 1t

[thegamingninja]

ill have to do some tests to see if i can build a 5 car train that can even run at 10kg XD would love to test it out

[CrayCray for coasters]

the supportwork would have to be insane, my train is 3 kilos and it takes a heck tonne of supports, three tubes per gray rod

Hard to tell what's going on really.  I think some good overviews and side shots of elements are required.

Sorry, net time i will get some better shots, but whats happening with the layout is it goes up a 5 1/4 gray rods (the 1/4 is my base) lift hill then takes a Diving drop like banshee's pulling out at 1 1/2 gray rods then it goes up a sidewinder (3 1/2 grays tall) dives down under the drops pullout (1 red height) takes the raven roll pretty slowly (2 1/2 grays tall) the pullout for that levels at 1 gray, takes a whippey bank from left to right, pulling into the interlocking corkscrew and that's all i have done so far

Heck cray cray I went to school for engineering and I still don't understand what you mean by the .25 and .21. What units? Plus a 3 kg train is pretty heavy. Isn't that like 7 lb?

Cant wait to see some far-out shots.

 Sorry for the lack of clarification on my end, It's a measurement of lateral G-force

Hello there, today’s update, i’ve Finished the first corkscrew and started the turn after the first corkscrew, done some shaping and ran out of pieces to it might be a while before the next update

looks cool, you tested them at all?

[CrayCray for coasters]

yeah, it makes it around with a little push but before the first corkscrew i'm gonna have a booster

[CrayCray for coasters]

I have zero peices, so i don't think i'm going to partake in the competiton, but i am starting a schwarztkopf shuttle loop

[thegamingninja]

did you not get some from the ebay guy or knex user group?

[CrayCray for coasters]

i did but for a new advanced launch system
