Re: Science Olympiad 2013-2014

Just out of curiosity when was this posted/updated? http://marylandscienceolympiad.org/page2013SeasonInformation/2013_14%20Charts%20Combinedv5_15.pdf I'm assuming the Summer Institute one is more recent since it has the change from Thermodynamics to Complex/Simple Machines. Is Complex Machines a bra...

Re: Elastic Launched Glider C

West-Lake won ELG, I don't know their official scores but I timed one of their practice runs which was in the range of 37 secs (well I think it was them at least...unless multiple teams had 30+ flights, in which case I may be mistaken)

Re: Elastic Launched Glider C

I remember reading a post from wayyyy back from the old scioly boards-the not so nicely organized ones- and they were talking about how there was going to be a flying rotation similar to boomi-bridge-towers. On an unrelated note, should bending the TE of the Stab increase decalage?

Re: Elastic Launched Glider C

I was trimming my glider the other day when all of the sudden it started doing barrel rolls as it was flying and I have no idea why. I checked if everything was ok and nothing broken because it usually means that something's broken but I couldn't find what was wrong ): I like triple checked everythi...

Re: Astronomy C

Unfortunately the test exchange is still down and I don't recall any National tests on there from the past few years being posted. Do you think it's likely that the state test will have it?

Re: Astronomy C

Just out of curiosity, I know the rules mention "DS9 Imaging Analysis Software," has anyone actually had to use it for a test? Or maybe even know how to use it? Also when it says "light curves, motions, ...etc" What does it mean by motions? Like planetary motions? One last thing ...

Re: Elastic Launched Glider C

We used thinned (50%) Ambroid cement with no problems. I'm interested in diluting Duco, is there a specific way to go about it? Do it by mass or volume? Do you put it in a air-tight bottle so you can use it many times? Also do you use the double glued joint method? Sorry for so asking so many quest...
