(Law of motion formula) (image from: https://www.physicsclassroom.com/class/newtlaws/Lesson-1/Newton-s-First-Law)

Key balance points to the formula are as stated:

  • The container was at rest, and you attempted to move it (when driving forward normally)
  • The container was in motion, and you attempted to stop it (when the player releases the "X" press aka Gas and crashes into the merge barrier)
  • The container was moving in one direction, and you attempted to change its direction. (when the car is traveling towards a direction at a suspected point and changing it's direction influences the outcome)

Possible Improvements:

None that I can find.

TASing is like making a film: only the best takes are shown in the final movie.

Thanks! I ran back the movie file myself and there were no issues there. The most notable area of timesave in this movie compared to the existing publication is in the final race, which ends input several seconds earlier, making even more effective and entertaining usage of the inertia technique. This does mean that they finish the race in 8th place instead of 1st, but seeing as this still results in a "win" by the game, I don't think there should be any issues regarding whether this movie meets its goal. Another great improvement from Technickle.
