Soapbox Derby Challenge! [CLOSED]
If you wish to participate, please read the full description, it holds the rules needed for this challenge.
This challenge is meant for everyone and supposed to be fun, while there are prizes, I will enjoy everyone’s builds and upvote them all! :)
Ok onto the...
Rules
There aren’t too many rules, it’s a calm challenge we’re doing :)
Rule 1: do not mess with the engine that was supplied, if I see that you messed with it your build will be disqualified, another thing, must use the original engine, you cannot add another
Rule 2: no mods, I’m on iOS
Rule 3: no glitches (you can thank @robloxweponco)
Rule 4: no gyros (we still gotta have those hilarious soapbox crashes :)
Rule 5: do not alter the frame excluding the highlighted parts below
Blue=frame length
Red=axle width
That’s all for rules.
All entries will be raced in the “Riding Dirty” race, if I feel your race was unfair in any way, I’ll re-race it so that it’s fair.
Winners are gonna be based on best looking and best performance in the race, everyone has a chance here :)
Prizes
1st: 15 upvotes and spotlight (if possible)
2nd: 10 upvotes
3rd: 5 upvotes
Deadline is February 29th, judging will begin after that. might be a week before results are ready.
For more communication to me, go to this discord server, I’m usually always on and am always happy to talk :)
As this is a challenge meant for anyone, I wish you all the best of luck and have fun!

If life is too in the way, I can judge the challenge, I will put all entries into a bracket and run the challenge like a standard tournament
@Braynie0904 oof ok
@robloxweponco sorry, I’ve been caught up on other things and life, judging for this has been slowing down and idk when I’m ever gonna get to it, please just be patient
I can run the challenge if needed
When should resaults be out, i didnt spend multiple days on one car for nothing
@Braynie0904 O ok, it's just i'm not always allowed on my devices.
@Alta2809 you’ve got until the end of the month, take as much time as you need!
@Braynie0904 Ima try to get this done. If I get the time
Scratch that, the time limit works, but is too short, ill reupload with a 150 second self destruct timer
Uploaded wrong version, oh well, it still explodes if it lands wrong
It is now uploaded, it self destructs after two minutes to keep things balanced
@Braynie0904 ok
@robloxweponco post a link unlisted, then post it public tomorrow
I did a stupid and now i cant reupload till tomorrow, can i post a link of it unlisted? Or does it have to be a sucsessor
Electric engines are too unstable and physics bending to use
@Braynie0904 im uploading the workaround soon
@Braynie0904 im not using electric engines
@robloxweponco are you gonna make me ban Electric engines as well? I’m trying to make it fair for everyone participating
@Zuikaku the parts that I have labeled red and blue can have their length changed to adapt to what you wanna build
@TrislandianAlliance modded in parts, like nukes, are banned, xml isnt
@robloxweponco ah, now that's interesting, i mean electric engine in general are not "modded", its just XML "modded"
@TrislandianAlliance used an inverted airbrake, got them banned, but im still playing with electricity
@robloxweponco Oh ok, is it an electric engine because its technically also a workaround, or maybe even try to make history repeat itself by making the Brabham Fan Car
@TrislandianAlliance attaching another engine is illegal, but my workaround isnt an engine
@robloxweponco yes, like attaching a micro engine with 15hp, literally bounced around and uncontrollable (trust me, im tried to do that)
