| Topic | What if we rolled a giant ball down a bobsled track? |
| Aristoph 02/20/18 4:41:58 AM #18: | I see. So when you said "nobody's ever flown over the wall" you really meant "nobody's ever flown over the wall" and not "nobody's ever flown over the wall." Got it. How could I have been so stupid to miss that? -_- If a person who is attempting to actually control the sled and is capable of making corrections and adjustments on the fly was unable to stay on the track, what the fuck kind of back-asswards world are you living in where an uncontrolled object with even less contact to the track and no brakes would make it? The ball would hit the turn even harder due to no brakes and less friction. It would bounce off the wall even harder due to higher speed and absolutely no course-corrections like the driver made. The rebound would then be even harder, and would lift the ball even higher and send it even farther out of the track. Especially considering the ball would actually contact the walls higher up than the driver and sled, which are engineered for the lowest possible center of mass to give more stability (something the ball would clearly lack). There is pretty much 0.00001% chance that a ball rolled down the bobsled track would make it all the way to the bottom. The engineering team did not design the track for a ball. They designed it for a sled with human drivers. --- PSN ID: Aristoph http://www.youtube.com/user/SotCRules ... Copied to Clipboard! |
