Junkyard Challenge(B)

Post by Liv »

I have just be informed that this event is now in Division B for this year, yeah?

There is no topic for this so I decided to make one.

Kinda hard to do that before that are rules, particularly since DH just told us JYC would change a lot :?

I did JYC C this year, along with trajectory and EV. I can say that both trajectory and EV looked good and worked well. Junkyard did not look that good. It was not that well built, and it looked like, well, it came from a junkyard. But it turned out to be the most successful event of the three, because we had a good concept and a sufficient implementation.

So, yes, I think junkyard challenge is the perfect event for someone who is strong with engineering concepts, but is inexperienced or not very good at the actual construction.

Good luck!

Thanks...

I'm on the fence about doing it, but I think I'll give it a shot... ;)

I can't believe this event came into B division!! It is extremely complicated from what I've heard from EASTstroudsburg13.

sounds kind of like experimental design
that would be hard to practice for but i think that that might be a good event for me
