Has anybody figured out a better solution than mass data collection? We can't find any 10m heights to test from...but it doesn't seem like anybody is willing to share if they have figured out an accurate equation that actually works... any ideas ?

The best place for 10 m drops for us was a nearby hotel. Check the clearance between the stairwell. We found one with a 2 ft. gap which was plenty for dropping in. Plus it let us collect at various heights. Good luck.
...and the bugs shall rule the world!!!

Im not sure if any of you know this but the heights from last years nationals were only around 5-6 meters. It is likely that the heights will not be any higher this year.

From the photo of the event location posted, if they have the setup by the rails, it looks like it'll be around 4-5 meters.

Unfortunately, the heights for nationals have to be between 5-10 meters. So I'm afraid it probably won't be by the rails, or your estimate is off. :P
Never argue with an idiot, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way you'll be a mile away and he'll be shoeless.
You should only create problems, that only you know solutions to.

The ceiling for the upper area in the pictures doesn't look too high so maybe they'll be on the lower end of the range with a setup similar to what they did last year.

Unfortunately, one of the national heights was lower than 5 meters. It wont be an event next year so I think teams can be rest easier now that this event wont cause anymore stress.
