I'm not the event supervisor, I was just one of the proctors.Fermi Questions (1): First of all, I would like to thank the ES (@Yackback on discord) for reminding us to put our names on the test. Yes, we forgot to put our names on the testAs for the test quality, I'd say it was a solid test. The time felt pretty comfortable for the 50 questions as we finished with around 5 minutes to spare, which is like not short enough so that we have 0 time to check, but also not long enough that we're sitting there bored for an extended period of time. The question content was new, which I enjoyed. I'm a hardcore memmer, but it's always good to see OC on a fermi test and this one was filled with it. Fermi should be a test of both memory and intuition skills and this fit the bill nicely. 10/10

np, thanks for the kind words, although yeah it's pretty hard to mess up Fermi.oops sorry I was typing without thinking lol, fixed.I'm not the event supervisor, I was just one of the proctors.Fermi Questions (1): First of all, I would like to thank the ES (@Yackback on discord) for reminding us to put our names on the test.

Man I feel for you. I misaligned our balloon module in our mission so it missed the trigger for our final action, and our wright stuff hit the wall twice. Small mistakes are the worst when you know you can do so much better :/.Mission Possible (14): RIP. If we had not screwed up, we would have comfortably won (though I will not say by how much). Our start task ended up being a touch, which cost us 125 points. Also, we did not read the rules carefully enough, and so our pulley was powered by a battery (which cost us a ton more points).
Mousetrap Vehicle (18): We tried to make a new vehicle for nationals, but didn't get to test until the night before we left. Turns out our curving had really bad issues coming back, so we ended up using our state vehicle. This cost us a lot of points for the VTP, so our raw score ended up being high 40s (quick math from the numbers I saw when signing the sheet).
Wright Stuff (30): I was partners with my sister for this event, and I trusted her to pack everything because she said she got it. When we showed up to nationals, we realized that she had left the propellers at home.... Anyways, we ended up borrowing from a couple schools (I forget who, but thanks!) and scraped together a 2:09, which is a 149 with bonus.
All my mistakes could have easily been prevented and fixed. Instead of getting three national medals/championships, I got three mediocre placings. Please don't make the same mistakes I made.
