Or what you could do is define it at the top of your writing so you don't have to put (coordinates) after every time you use it. Something like "(number,number) will represent coordinates"

Yeah, what zyzzyva said, but make sure to confirm that it's okay with your regional/state proctor because there's no specific rule for this kind of situation in the manual.
ornithology, forestry, entomology, triple E, green generation, water quality, dynamic planet (lakes & rivers), awesome aquifers, meteorology, robot arm, write it do it. :)

Going back to building materials for practice:
I suggest having someone who isn't afraid to make it hard build it for you, instead of building it yourself. If you build it yourself, then no matter how much you deny it you're going to remember how you attached different things. My partner and I always ask our coach to make something, because she enjoys watching us trying to recreate her insanely difficult structures. It's kind of evil, actually.

Also, I just realized that all those times I wrote out the names of the different K'Next pieces, I could've just made a key at the beginning. :x Wow, no wonder it takes me so long to write instructions. :oops:

Apparently this year the event coordinators are going to be using common household items, like paper plates, paper, cups, tape, etc. (or, at least in NJ). Has anyone else heard this?

I have no idea what the coordinators in IL are doing... how did you find out what they are going to use?

For Missouri, they used common household items last year too, but it was K'Nex the year before.

For us at invitationals, it was Tinker Toys, Magnetixs, K'Nex, and STRING! :cry: Anything can be used I guess.
