It's That Time Of Year Again: Snow Skimmer Shenanigans!

[Ryan O.]

This is interesting. What is the deadline?

I don't know, February 15th to give people lots of time.

I don't know, February 15th to give people lots of time.

I might be able to participate

 

[Ryan O.]

I might be able to participate

If you need I can extend it, I just want it to be long enough for people to build everything, but not super long.

I might...

 

[GrizWiz]

I got my main design done!

 

[GrizWiz]

Time To cut!

 

[Monte.C]

Time To cut!

Cut fast, I gotta see what this turns into. It looks like an... elbow?

[Monte.C]

Is it done yet? Is it done yet?

 

[GrizWiz]

Is it done yet? Is it done yet?

Sigh...

 

[GrizWiz]

The idea is to have a tube going through the body to give it more airflow and prevent drag!

I guess I'll enter - IF I get some snow before the deadline. A generous deadline might allow for the weather for a couple contestants.

The problem here is that not everybody will have that ideal hard-pressed white snow on a straight road to run on. And If I knew I'd have that kind of surface I'd design mine a little different than I did. I tried to design mine to handle some powder and to run through bumps & hills. But we'll just have to wait & see...

Maybe I should stay out of it anyway. I don't want to make anybody cry.

nah

 

[Monte.C]

nah

That's not a sentence! Stop doing that! I'll have to assume you mean: Nah Monte you don't need to enter. Give the rest of us a chance.

Nah that's incorrect

 

[GrizWiz]

Nah that's incorrect

I will give you a chance but just know I'm going to win🤣

 

[Monte.C]

Well I dunno. With a tube through the body for more airflow & less drag... I think my uncle had that...

 

[Flyingshark]

I'll build something, if I can enter with a wet sand skimmer! I don't have any snow.

Wow, That looks like it should be pretty fast, what have you decided on a power system?
