Roller Coaster

2027 topic: Track design for a vehicle/marble run

Design a roller-coaster track that meets height/time/accuracy requirements in the rules.

Technology & Engineering

What this event is about

Build a roller-coaster apparatus (often for a vehicle or ball) scored on time, height changes, and successful runs.

Study plan

  1. Extract scoring formula from the rules before designing.
  2. Prioritize smooth transitions over dramatic loops that stall.
  3. Practice multiple consecutive successful runs.
  4. Measure start height and timing precisely.

Tips

Friction and alignment lose more points than “not enough hills.”
