This class is terrible, dont be fooled by the cool roller coaster project. The planning and calculations for these coasters take hours and hours and hours without any fun actually doing anything hands on, were in week four doing our paper design, its hell.

@clinge101 You know, I made an excel spreadsheet that did all the calculations for me. Was hell to make and is kinda glitchy if you don't enter things in a correct order, but it works, and works well. Made this class a shit ton easier.

Didn't you guys have to have a straightaway? I don't see it. Am I just blind?

[DalmationHuscky]

It's right after the loop and into the corkscrew.  It doesn't look like it's 12 inches but it is.

@DalmationHuscky that's what she said

@clinge101 You'd expect less/easier from an introduction to engineering class?

[DalmationHuscky]

It's in the title... Engineering 183 (ENG 183. Not 183H, the honors one. That one designs and builds an anamatronic robot to do sertain tasks within a set time period.)
