Re: Keep the Heat B/Thermodynamics Lab C
No, within the internal nomenclature of Science Olympiad, Keep the Heat and Thermodynamics are not considered Engineering/Building events as much as a lab event. Only (at most) half of the points will be coming from the insulating device.JSGandora wrote:Shouldn't this by in the Building Events forum?

Re: Keep the Heat B/Thermodynamics C
The Table of Contents for the rules calls it just Thermodynamics, but close enough

Re: Keep the Heat B/Thermodynamics C
I've never done this event before. What advice would you offer to a newbie?

Re: Keep the Heat B/Thermodynamics C
No one's done this event before, except perhaps a few people from Minnesota. So we'll have to wait for the rules to come out to find out

FYI, I wouldn't jump the gun on this. We provided a pretty limited list of materials in the rules that are permitted.
