I was there for most of the time, but never saw anyone or anything indicating the meet up

People on my team do anywhere from 2-4. We try not to have the people who do one event (especially seniors, with the 7 seniors on a C team limit). This being my third year as team captain, somehow I ended the year with 7 events, (3 builds, a lab event and 3 study). I can't tell you how I did it, but...

I'll be helping run air trajectory B!

Both Rock valley and lake county are up now

For example, in electric vehicle you always have an 8.5 meter a .5 meter line and the target point, but in this event you only have tb e target point, which will be surrounded by sand so I doubt the ES will let ...

I see where you are coming from, and yes, as the span decreases, the angle of the bridge increases... depending on how you design your bridge... In theory, you could design an elevated bridge, then chop off the elevated legs on one side... In that case, there is no angle due to the elevation change...

I would like to clarify a question about Graphs that need to be submitted for this competition. I have data for 4 different launch angles and 8 different drop heights. I kept the drop weight constant. I can graph drop height Vs range for each angle as its own graph. That would give me 4 graphs for ...

At our first tournament this past year, we used the same design as last year. Last year our design had an efficiency ~500. It weighed 16g and held roughly half of the weight. We used heavier bass for the first competition this year (actually on accident) and it weighed 21g but held all of the weight...
