How much do you think the rules will change for this event next year? Do you think they will change a lot of requirements for how the device is built?

If we make 4 graphs for this event, do they have to be 4 graphs that show 4 different types of data we measured with our device, or are they supposed to be 4 different types of graphs that show the same set of data?

Would we be allowed to drop a mass on a lever which activates a pump that releases air to shoot the ball? Or does the air pressure that shoots the ball have to come directly from the falling mass?

Does anyone have any good websites about the effects of drugs, alcohol, caffeine, etc. on the cardiovascular system?

We have about 22 people in our club right now and we are trying to figure out how to find the best 15 to go to the regional. What do other teams do? Just give people one test and figure it out based on the scores for that test?

Does anyone have any good book or website resources to study for this event? I am not looking for notes, I want reading material. Thanks. I have this book which I've found somewhat helpful: http://www.amazon.com/Human-Body-Illustrated-Guide-Every/dp/0789479885 It has great diagrams and is easy to u...
