Notice the 'optimal delay' time? 2.09 seconds. On a 3-second delay, it is falling for half as much time as it is coasting upward. That's why the Dv is high.
Good shot, Jay. You (nearly) met all of the parameters of the challenge. I'll include it in the list, but we need to tweak it a bit to get that Dv down below 20. Even a streamer becomes a screamer at some point... 
Addendum: I think I'll just build one and see what screams - the model, or me... 
Magic Number is now 20... |
