MIT Invitational

Any idea what the top score for hovercraft test portion was? By my calculations from comparing our two teams, I think it's 35 which is what we got on the test. Is there any other score higher than this? That moment when you have perfect mass score but your hovercraft is still too fast and gets destroyed on time. Such is life.

That moment when you have perfect time score but your physics skills are garbage and gets destroyed on math. Such is life.

get rekt :^)

Going through the rankings of the A/B teams, it seems like the overall rankings are:

1. Troy (nothing of note)
2. Seven Lakes (2nd & 25th)
3. Solon (82 total point dif. for those B did better)
4. Harriton (47 point dif. from Solon A)
5. LASA (55th in WIDI?)
6. New Trier (6th & 45th)
7. Chattahoochee (8th & 36th)
8. Acton-Boxborough (60th in WIDI?)
8. Columbia (54th in WIDI?)
10. Mentor (128 total point dif. for those B did better)

The two Solon teams may not synthesis nicely, but I think they have what it takes to beat Harrition. I'm not so sure about Acton-Boxborough, and those WIDI results are odd. I have no idea about Mentor, because they have huge point gaps between their teams (eg. Chem Lab and R&M).

EDIT: I forgot LASA. I've removed Boca Raton, which would be 11th overall.

WIDI is always a tossup, and for invitationals we just put on people that didn't have enough events - evidently it didn't go so hot.

such is life I guess

Erm I think you left LASA out.

55th in WIDI and still got 5th. Lotso fives!

(I'll be rooting for Stoga to win state though)

Not sure how far you'll get with that one... Harriton's been on a different level from any other PA C team this invitational season. I'll give you that their chances at 2nd are reasonable.

Whoops, yes I did. They should be right above New Trier.

Troy destroyed everyone in terms of the test, according to the supervisor.

5. LASA (55th in WIDI?)

This happened due to a snafu in their printed schedule, which made them show up late to WIDI

I'm noticing a trend in WIDI being very volatile...

If you take a look at last year's national results for WIDI, some of these results aren't as surprising as they may first seem; it's more in comparison to the rest of their results.
