Challenge was inspired by this post about how to make upward and downward winds the post also shows how you can make the downward winds yourself to test your builds.
This challenge is about building a very durable ground vehicle able to move around and survive in extreme downward winds. To enter make your vehicle a successor of this post. No xml modding parts to give them infinite health. The builds will be tested on the skypark city island. The builds don't have to do jumps or anything they just need to drive around and survive.
I'm going to be testing the builds by slowly increasing the downward wind speed. The speeds will progress in the order 25, 50, 75, 100, 150, 200, 250, 500, 750, 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500, 5000, 7500, 10000. I don't know if its even possible to survive higher wind speeds than those but that's what this challenge is about.
The winner will be determined with a point system.
You will get one point for each wind speed increase that you can survive
You will get one point for each wind speed increase you are still able to move around in.
here is a video of me testing the little bugger car in the high wind speeds. I skipped some of the speeds to keep the video short. The little bugger car would get 17 points because it was able to move around during 7 wind speed increases and survive 10 wind speed increases. I will do the same test for each build.
The winner will get 35 upvotes, The 2nd placer will get 25 upvotes, The 3rd placer will get 15 upvotes. Everyone who joins will get an upvote on their submission
The challenge will be run on high physics
The concept of the challenge is kind of complicated but I think it could be fun.
The deadline is july 10th

@ChamDel7 @WolfHunter9111 The challenge is over now. Both of your cars were able to survive ANY amount of pressure and didn't blow up. I should have expected that. ChamDel7's car was able to move around under any amount of pressure which I REALLY didnt expect. Good job ChamDel7, You win the challenge. WolfHunter9111 your car could survive any wind speed but couldn't move above 7500 wind speed.
The build can be any type of ground vehicle
It doesn't have to be a real vehicle or resemble it
@PPLLAANNEE okay... That's fine, thought it's a tie-breaker
@PPLLAANNEE yayayayayayayayaya! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAAAAAA
(rages happily) HOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRAAAYYYY
GOOD JOB, OTHER ONES
@ChamDel7 I'll do them soon I kinda forgot about the challenge lol
Where’s the results?
@HuskyDynamics01 a hovercraft wouldn't be considered a ground vehicle it has to be resting on the ground
@WolfHunter9111 it's fine. I explained how the points work in the description
A quick question:
Is it okay when if the downward wind reach 10000, the car will stop driving around due to the downward wind pressure but the car is just still fine, it stuck and cannot move but the car is still fine and not destructed by the strong downward wind pressure. Is it okay? No XML used and all clear.
Diah!
@Yourlocalhuman it can be any ground vehicle.
@HuskyDynamics01
you can base it off of someone else's but it can't be too close to theirs
wheels aren't mandatory
I will make a super heavy Tank instead
Hmmm... not sure I'll have time to enter this, but I have a few questions.
1. Does the vehicle need to be 100% original, or can it be based on someone else's (with appropriate credit, of course)?
2. Are wheels mandatory?
3. Does the vehicle have to be in full contact with the ground? (E.g., would a hovercraft or something be considered a "ground vehicle")
