How Fast Can You Throw a Car in Poly Bridge 3?

For more details, I have a community post explaining things more, and I'll be posting more details over time.

Me: "I play polybridge to solve creative puzzles"

Reidcaptain: "I play poly bridge to make vehicles go mach 10"

This guys motto is just four bar linkage

fun facts about custom shapes: 1) The motor acceleration time is the number of seconds it will take for the motor to ramp up to top speed. that will get rid of any sudden jerkiness with CS motors. 2) if custom shapes are starting to phase though stuff, increase their mass. for whatever reason, heavier shapes have better collision properties.

I'm watching a reid captain video that wasn't uploaded at least a month ago

10:27 "I wanted to go faster but the custom shapes were limiting me, so I had to start using _drugs_ "

I never really thought about it but the way most game engines can't handle speeds above a few thousand shows a lot of room for improvement in software techniques.

So awesome you’re developing a synth! I would be happy to nab one of those upon release :) I can only imagine what got you into that. Music is beautiful and it’s all mathematics so this was probably a lot of fun for ya. If not a real challenge of blending hardware design intended to be comfortable and playable, with software that has run smooth and be intuitive.

Yo! Welcome back! I love the synthesizer thing, but if you don’t mind me asking, why did you decide to make it? I mean, it seems pretty far off from your usual content, and I never really related you with music. So how did you come up with this idea?

So a problem with your catapult/trebuchet was that even though you made your trebuchet release at a good time, you didn’t release it at the best time. The trebuchet wasn’t really transferring all its energy into the bikes’s motion.

Why does he sound like he's confident and completely unsure of everything? 😭

[Better_Bread]

Nice! I made a similar design when I was testing out ways to launch custom shapes. It consisted of 16 maxed spinning motors. Which launched an 80 pg custom shape around 1000 km/h (625 mp/h). Accord to a dev comment 1 pg is 4 kg (8.8 lbs) meaning the projectile had similar kinetic energy to modern tank rounds. Unfortunately I couldn’t make it work without unbreaking for cables so I couldn’t do much. I have a version with cars instead which i posted on pb 3 workshop.

this is easily the best part of my day

Once he started launching the car into space, it was hard to remember if I was watching Poly Bridge or KSP! Haha nice video!

[CharlesPkp]

So happy you posted again !
I loved seeing you build catapults in a bridge game xD

[miguelanjo]

been like a year since ive seen anything poly bridge, this is great

[andrewivykaia]

Average person: Lets create a bridge!
Reid Captain: Lets launch a car to the moon!

[punchtrees]

seeing the notification of your video made me almost choke on my cheerios

[itsamemario_yahoo]

0:03 you didnt use the glitch you discovered in that video... Can you plz try that too?
