Oh ok so it wasn't a big change but still they were very good. Also I can tell you that the kid who built the device for Arden last year is now a tenth grader at Mira Loma (I'm in 9th grade at Mira Loma) so you should be seeing him in C division soon enough. :D But I don't know if he left any plans or anything at Arden.

What is the difference between B&C? I was in B last year do you have to shoot the ball farther in C? I have not been able to see the rules yet for this.

Ok if it has to be powered by a non-metalic elastic soild couldnt you make a trebuchet and have like a super heavy chunk of some that fits the rules or would it not work. Im just wondering cause Im probably going to do a catapult anyways. I was just curious. :D

No the definition of it is that it has to be powered by the solid itself, trebuchets are powered by gravity not by the non metallic elastic solid.
