Clarifications aren't open yet, so for the heck of it I'll ask my question here. Under 3.m, it says "electricity must not be used for further actions after the sand timer has started." Do you suppose they mean after it has started and before it has completed, or from that point on? i.e., ...

With respect to Car of Tomorrow, Sumobots, and other new tech events. One of the considerations is always the amount of money required to get the supplies so the school can compete.

Also, what is the topic of JYC going to be next year? Nobody knows what the topic of Junkyard will be until the Building committee gets together after Nationals and decides what they want to implement. So when will that info be released? I promised my team that I would start over the summer so I di...
