Re: Robot Arm C
Make the robot build a lego structure set at competition. Robots in industry build structures, why shouldn't ours? Fastest time and have intricate structures. Small legos so the the kit people have a chance

I was standing next to the guy filming Roy's design was awesome, he totally bypassed a gear transmission by using really thin wire spinning in a very thin curved aluminum tube. It wasn't even close to optimized though.

Re: General Discussion
yea, about 6.9-7 grams assuming it was 70 cm and held all mass I had a full height 6.67 gram tower hold it all about two weeks before our regional tournament this year, and unfortunately I wasn't able to replicate it all season. But, that's how towers goes. As frustrating as it can be, I'll miss it...

Re: Ceiling at Nationals
Mounds View's helicopter got stuck in the rafters, which was pretty frustrating for our helicopter people who had put so much effort into their Chinook, but we realize it was out of our control and is just one of the unlucky things that can happen to any team at any Science Olympiad competition.

Re: Duration
ya! I talked with him last year for an hour in the Shell. I like the Hawaiian shirts he inevitable wears. You were able to fly in the hall versus in the actual competition area? How did that work out O.o 2:30 is a good time, that Troy's 3:11 I hear was insane. I would have loved to been down in Flo...

The highlight of my day was talking to Dave Zeigler, whose Freedom Flight Models I've been building off of...
