We had a great meeting last Saturday; a huge turnout! Thanks to everyone who
came! If you’re new, and have questions, don’t hesitate to ask.
For our February 25th meeting (also at Digipen, and also in the van Gogh room)
we voted on line-track racing as our mini-challenge. As usual, build to whatever
level of difficulty you like. You don’t have to build a ‘racer’ if you don’t
want. We like to keep these challenges as friendly as possible. Sometimes being
competitive isn’t what people want. If you want to bring your own line, that’s
okay. But if you prefer to use our “standard” line, here are the technical
details:
The line will be 1”-wide blue masking tape on a white board. Sections will be at
least 6” long, and the maximum angle between sections of tape will be 45-degrees
(ie: half of a 90-degree turn). There CAN be intersections, but they will be at
90-degrees. You should go straight through these intersections.

In addition, please bring any big ball contraptions that you are working on.
I’ve got a couple, and also several more that I’ve been thinking about. It would
be cool to put them all together to see how they work, just moving balls from
one end of a table to another.
