HOW DID YOU DO AT STATE?

[sk8lynne]

yeah meee too

[pjgscioisamazing]

yeah meee too

like it was a stupid stupid stupid stupid stupid mistake, but I eman it was his first sates, it's mike (lol) and it was a mistake. Well at nats you can go to WIDI together so that's good

[sk8lynne]

yeah and i dont think that it will ever happen again...not just 4 WIDI but for all events

[sachleen]

Was that your last competition?
And sk8lynne, I can just imagine all the anger towards that one kid from your team. You guys are lucky that that didn't prevent you from going to nats.

Yeah, that makes it even worse. EV was OK, i don't think i could have done much more for that. I never got the time!!! I think that's what made me lose.. If the recorded time is more than 0.2s away from what i predicted, I'm gonna kill a lolcat. For JYC, I was supposed to do the coin sorter, my partner the scale. Our water displacement scale would have worked fine, except for the fact that he forgot water. So I took all the tubes and stuff and made a really tall tower, puta piece of wood on top, taped a paper clip to it, linked another paperclip onto that one so it would point down, put a rubber band on it, and made a pan from a CD and duct tape. The MO was a chalk egg, and we just put that on the CD. We got 2 data points for calibration and when we went to test it, it tipped over twice and I don't know how off we were from the actual mass, but we got, at best 11th place (if you aren't in the top 10, you just get 1 point). In bridge, it broke obviously, efficiency was 399. the construction was fine, one of the pieces of wood just snapped early.

Ouch, that sucks.

I'm really sorry to hear that. It's a shame that your SO career ended on a low note. And the fact that you couldn't control most of it, that just sucks. I'm really really sorry.

At least you can look at the rest of your career as a scioly nerd and say that you did well

[sciencegeek100]

i am going,

my team has gone like 19/24 times and like 10 or 11 in a row...

[croman74]

Congrats! What state are you from?

[boomtech]

im going to state, it's probably like the 19th time we've gone.
from what i can see i probably go to the same school as sciencegeek100.
hey! we'll talk at school.
