Question: how "Boxy" does it have to be? I have an entry (an early version of a build I will be uploading soon), but it's not at all a box.... The cockpit is covered in structural panels to try to meet the guidelines, but I'm not sure if that counts. The cockpit in the actual design is not at all inside of the fuselage, so I just covered it. Will it be eligible?
@StogiepatrickMC it's 👌
I feel really bad now I yelled at someone for a stupid game. Sorry. :(
@StogiepatrickMC dang son chill! All competitions tend to be successor only. I figured it was just common sense. Sorry
NOTHING SAID IT HAD TO BE A SUCCESSOR!
@Nickasaurus you can't just look at it!
@Nickasaurus what!
@StogiepatrickMC has to be a successor
@Exumer yes it is encouraged to get all the way down.
Mine is done
@Stingray ok
I posted it
@Nickasaurus is my box good
Glide onto the edge, or crash onto it. Then go To Locations and SET as a new location on the SP Location menu. @BritishNarwhal
@Stingray is that a default launch point? if not, how did u get up there?
@Nickasaurus did my design work?
This is going to he hard
I'm in
This is somewhat like dropping a wrapped egg 10 stories and seeing if it survives. Been many years since I had to do that in college. Sounds like fun (volcano lip is one of my favorite launch points). Will consider.
Can our box have rounded corners?
Bring it!! I think I already have a successful design!
@Chesscube no part can break :)
But is any part of the box allowed to brake? What if we make a part that's designed to brake?
Sweet! I'm SO in!!!
