'''Random Cog Pedro Spot, | '''Random Cog Pedro Spot''', or '''RCPS''' for short, is the theory that it is possible to gain enough speed from the TTC Pedro Spot on the random setting to jump straight to the SotT star, which would save an A press. | ||
==The basics== | ==The basics== | ||
In Tick Tock Clock, there is a [[Pedro Spot]] in between two of the cogs. Theoretically, if RNG was kind enough to let Mario stay inside the Pedro Spot for about 800 frames, Mario could gain enough positive horizontal speed that, after A is pressed, would be enough to reach the SotT star. This would allow us to collect SoTT in 1 A press, reducing the current count for the ABC to 18. | In Tick Tock Clock, there is a [[Pedro Spot]] in between two of the cogs.

===The cogs' RNG calls=== | |||
A cog on the random setting calls RNG whenever its angular velocity (AV) equals its target angular velocity (TAV). It then performs 2 RNG calls, one for the magnitude of its next TAV, one for its sign. The possible resulting TAVs are: | |||
