Any Idea what scores might go top 10, medal (top 6), and win nationals? I would imagine to secure a spot in the top 6, a team might need to get under 5cm on both targets and be able to hit two buckets for 400 points. Have you seen what design the top teams have been using? I have, but I'm not reall...

Also, this is going to sound weird but is anybody seeing an optimal distance coming from some angle other than 45 degrees?? We get a maximal flight at around 35 degrees. Weird! YES! SCIENCE! In a vacuum the ideal angle to launch a projectile at is 45 degrees, yes. In air, the angle shallows out a b...

Whenever I test my bridges they frequently just tip over. I've been thinking of angling my bridge to a trapezoid when viewed on its short end. However I...

What do you mean 'they did the math' wrong? I have all the raw scores for Wright State since I ran scoring there and can look things up for you, but I'd like to understand your comment. Chalker, do you happen to know if raw scores from Wright State are going to be publicly released? I competed ther...
