More importantly, would a not gate be considered a sensor? I think I've just had a stroke of genius.

I wasn't sure what you were referring to as a "gate"PM2017 wrote:What did you have in mind when you said depends on the gate?ScottMaurer19 wrote:That would be iffyPM2017 wrote:

Re: Chemical Clocks
I’m sorry, but please clarify this for me because I thought I saw this in the rules but now I can’t find it- are we required to have some type of timer? Or isn’t it just for bonus points? Will we be penalized in any way for not having a timer?
Re: Chemical Clocks
It is for bonus points. Inherently, bonus points are worth the same as regular points, so you will be penalized in the sense that you don't get the points. But it won't be a violation or any penalty.Ash123 wrote:I’m sorry, but please clarify this for me because I thought I saw this in the rules but now I can’t find it- are we required to have some type of timer?

Re: Chemical Clocks
Is a zener diode or a capacitor in conjunction with a relay switch considered a "sensor?"
Re: Chemical Clocks
Would the zener diode be reading some chemical trigger? In general, i'd stay away from anything electrical being the result of your chemical timer based on the faq, as anything that senses is a sensor.aniSUKSatCHEM wrote:Is a zener diode or a capacitor in conjunction with a relay switch considered a "sensor?"

Re: Chemical Clocks
Has anyone managed to get a chemical timer to work consistently? I tried using the balloon inflating task with baking soda and vinegar, but that varied from taking 30 seconds to 10 minutes.... I don't even know if the chemical timer is worth it, I remember seeing something from Scott saying that chemical timers are a trap.

Re: Chemical Clocks
They are definitely worth it, but should NOT be your first priority. They are very difficult to finish and consume quite a bit of time. (also, your baking soda/vinegar task, if done properly should not take that long)scioly2012 wrote:Has anyone managed to get a chemical timer to work consistently?
