Are you guys focusing more on the binder/information part or the blade part? why?

the blade part, because my partner and i didn't even have a binder in regionals (we kinda forgot) and we still got 5th so...

If you want to do well at nats, you'll need to focus on both aspects.

The blade part is probably the easiest to improve at first but once you get to a certain point, it's really hard to make a breakthrough.

...i've never been to nats....and personally, i don't think i ever will. my partner's making the binder.

I definitely have to agree with that, during our first few weeks of building and testing, we saw a large amount of improvement, but at the point where we are now..., breaking our highest voltage is very difficult... We don't know what else we could do

[Epicfail]

we still don't know what our highest voltage is or what fan we're going to take and states is in a week

[Littleboy]

State is in 6 days NOT a week.
What do you guys think the top voltages will be

[Epicfail]

i dont know and who cares? six days a week, same thing...

[illusionist]

It's pretty hard to say, because the type of motor and voltmeter that you test with can be different than the ones at state. At regionals, we got 150% times as much volts that we got at home. So, your voltage at states could be lower or higher than what you get with your testing.

...but at least you can figure out which fan is best

What are you getting on your fans
