I posted on Sasukepedia that I submitted an obstacle named "Turning Point". However, that was a prototype for another obstacle I had in mind! My second obstacle that I submitted is called "Rose Curve"! Part of my inspiration for "Turning Point" came from the Broken Pipes (ANW 9) and the Tuning Forks (ANW 10). I created another balance obstacle, but here, I set four flower-shaped platforms in a curved path (in a tilted '7' path rotated 40 degrees), where competitors must dash across them while making sure their momentum doesn't make the platforms spin. It's not fully shown, but the obstacle has a width of 6 feet and a length of 14 feet.

I've been researching some of the recent ninja-killer balance obstacles, and I've noticed one thing in common: they're usually quite linear. This obstacle will take a curved rather than straightforward path and require competitors to keep their momentum. However, to create a solution from making it too impossible, I noted that it is recommended that competitors step on the very center of the platforms rather than the sides (it's easier said than done!) This has the chance of being difficult, but also fair enough to be completed. And it is inspired by some of the recent ninja-killer balance obstacles without (hopefully) being too similar.

Fun fact: The name I came up with on this obstacle is based off of a mathematical equation, used in polar coordinates. It's a pun on the fact that the obstacle's uniqueness is its non-linearness.
