Scrambler

2027 topic: Rubber-band powered vehicle

Build a rubber-band powered vehicle to stop close to a target distance with high score.

Technology & Engineering

What this event is about

A precision vehicle event: store elastic energy and release it so the scrambler travels a target distance and stops accurately.

Study plan

  1. Confirm track, distance, and construction limits.
  2. Calibrate winds vs distance with a chart from practice runs.
  3. Practice consistent starting alignment.
  4. Bring spare bands rated for tournament temperature.

Tips

Temperature changes rubber bands — recalibrate on site if allowed.
