Soar is a GCI coaster based off a paper by Travis Rothbloom. You can read it here!

I designed the coaster to work with block sections, allowing for two trains to run on the course. Everything is moderated by a lego EV3 which has motors that control:
-the drill to the first lift
-the drill to the second lift
-the brakes
-the station chain

Other details include a full entrance and exit, images from the paper in the station, and manual gates!
About 11,000 pieces were used.
Track length: About 87 feet
Construction time: About 90 hours, January 2 - February 20
