It is supposed to make the rules state photo(chemical?) action as opposed to a reaction. This would allow for things like fluorescent objects to be used in conjunction with UV light to create a color change.

Re: Photochemical Task
so the rules got changed to "4.b.vi. Use light to initiate the next action." instead of "4.b.vi. Use light to initiate a chemical reaction to begin the next action." Does this mean we can use another photocell or am I misinterpreting the rule change?

Re: Photochemical Task
So the rules say it must be a "unique" action. I wouldn't use a halogen bulb (already used) but if you use an LED it would count IMO.idontknowanything wrote:so the rules got changed to "4.b.vi.

Re: Photochemical Task
That's my interpretation. It seems like they pretty much cut out all of the difficulty of this action. Kinda sucks because I probably could've placed higher at my last invitational if I'd noticed this change earlier.idontknowanything wrote:so the rules got changed to "4.b.vi.

Re: Photochemical Task
I don't know if you want to keep your plan secret in case they bring it back somehow, but out of curiosity, what had you planned to do? I was thoroughly vexed figuring out something that worked fast enough. It's already been discussed here a bit, but we were looking mainly at Hydrogen Peroxide, although I was also investigating using film.ScottMaurer19 wrote:This was a last minute addition for me too.

Re: Photochemical Task
I don't expect it to come back because they already published the rule clarification. I planned to shine UV light on powder that changes color in sunlight. The electron orbitals are changed by the UV thus producing a chemical reaction via light.Snarknado wrote:I don't know if you want to keep your plan secret in case they bring it back somehow, but out of curiosity, what had you planned to do?

Re: Photochemical Task
Does the uniqueness rule mean that you can't end this action with a photocell if you also do the exothermic-light-photocell action (action iii)?

Re: Photochemical Task
Up to interpretation... By that logic closing switches would only be allowed in one transfer. I would say significantly changing something (i.e. changing from an incandescent bulb to an LED) would be considered unique.PM2017 wrote:Does the uniqueness rule mean that you can't end this action with a photocell if you also do the exothermic-light-photocell action (action iii)?
