Proton Racer

53.5k Ephwurd  8.5 years ago

Built by a group of highschoolers as part of their school project, the Proton Racer caught the attention of several aerospace jet manufacturers due to its unique design. The students refused to sell their design and tried to mass-produce their craft with their own resources. A third-party company saw the tremendous amount of flaws to the original build and decided to steal the design and manufacture the craft to their own standards. The result was a well-balanced racer that had a lot less flaws than the original build, yet still not fully polished to be considered top-tier.

    @redbear89 It seems you misunderstood what I said --- 7 wings and 150 total parts limit only applies if you want your plane to be spawned naturally by the SANDBOX AI.. from what I could gather after reading through the conversation here, Gen360 is talking about RACE AI --- in that case there is no real limit on how many part you should use...

    @General360 Thank you again!! One question though; if the AI can't fly your plane is it considered bad?
