The cantilever? Or the state competition paper airplane thing? Yeah, that does, actually. But it's really easy.

He is talking about the paper airplane thing, and Blwrunner accidentally made a typo. It was our regional competition that had to do with paper airplanes.

Oh. xD Well, yeah, that does sound pretty fun. The cantilever was kind of stupid, in my opinion, because it was too hard to control.

I meant the cantilever, but the airplanes sound cool.
I bet you had to read this twice

When the rules state "any other relevant statistics" what would this entail? Are there any that I should really know for a State level competition?

Under "statistics," (at least, for B; I don't know whether or not this will be useful to you) you should definitely have the mean, median, mode, range, and possible outliers in your data. A great thing to include for states is standard deviation (it's hard to explain, and something online would probably do a better job of explaining it than me anyways). Tables look nice to show this data. xP

I usually don't include a mode, unless there actually is one. Usually there isnt

Same here. Most of my experiments include accurate measurements, and answers never come out the same, so I can hardly ever include a mode.
