I'm gonna disagree with you on that one, hyyyper. The wheels don't ever speed the track up, since during e-stop the train rolls straight through that set of brakes, and under normal conditions, it slows the train down. Granted, there is an e-stop failure due to the train not stopping as well, but I think it's technically legal.

^cjd, the decision was made pages back, no friction tyres on MCBR's. And even then, when i rode his track, there was stacking and the train was propelled by the tyres.

Just create a simple: lift, drop, a few turns and brake again and done [;)]

This contest is going to be damned boring if we don't start getting more entries... it's not supposed to be "submit a legal track, you're in!" I could deal with it this round, but I'm gonna be really annoyed if it comes to that again in the second round. This contest is supposed to be a challenge...

C'mon, peeps, start sumbittin'!

Its the first round, its fine
they didnt know how many people would send in legal tracks a month later when they guessed 32 to pass...

I like how hyyyper's already weeding people out...


if i might make a suggestion...
in future rounds, the less objects in the template, the better. this one was cool tho

how so? what's wrong with more object. IMO it depens on the rules and 'goal' and aim of the round/template
