Don't know about Slauson this year. I'm hoping for 2nd, but it's way too early to tell.

I firmly believe that Troy Michigan will get first at state but there will have to be some hard decisions throughout the year. The first decision will come down to the builders. There seems to be a lack of brain cells between the builders. There is no sense of time or direction with them. The second decision is if someone new should take over builds. And the final decision should be whether or not there should be a new captain.

Is there any event in particular you have a problem with?

Probably Wright Stuff, Mousetrap Vehicle, and probably your builds. Throw in your teams leadership and boom a third place state team
Dude this is the third time - stop being so aggressive to other people on the forums, or one day you will get banned. Your username is also questionably inappropriate. You might be trying to be funny, but I assure you that it's not. Treat others the way you'd like to be treated.

Let's hope, losing a majority of your team is hella hard to replace, especially since we(you as in Slauson) don't do ninth graders. tbh, Slauson pulling off nats 2019 was lowkey crazy, so this year it's def possible :D

The State Tournament schedule is out. There are 6 testing blocks, no surprises, no Source Code.

That isn't a surprise? Or have I mixed up MI with some other state...

They went to 5 testing blocks last year. Before that it was always 6. I'm only a little surprised they went back to 6 blocks this year; I'm sure they got more than a few complaints. Although I had thought that it was possible that one of the reasons they went to 17 students per team was that they were sticking with the 5 blocks.

I think when I said no surprises, I meant that it matches the National schedule.
