Re: OVERDRIVE Rules/Scoring Questions

Re: 2008 Game- Overdrive
It's a simpler game as far as scoring and such, but a harder game for how to do it. Getting a ball over that overpass is going to be very interesting. How to get the second trackball over the...

Re: How does descoring work?
Circular relationship, err, function for a circle. X^2 + Y^2 = R^2
Radius of ball -- 20"
length of overpass -- 32", believedly.
16^2 + y^2 = 20^2

Re: How does descoring work?
You can go in any direction in a given quadrant, you just can't cross the lines going the wrong direction. Otherwise if a ball rolled into a corner, you're in extremely hot water.
