Counterweight: 2.1kg

Projectile: 40g

We shot for 14 meters, and were only a few inches off, but we got 7th place, which I'm content with.

Anything other than 1st Liv is obviously wrong, you should send an email to Harold for no apparent reason. :roll:

I've heard that most of NY is rural but I've only seen the NYC area before the SO state competion. Rarely did I have a cell signal there though.
If you're willing to post it here, what hotels did you guys in Division B stay at?
The only thing I disliked about Ulster was that the Sumbot finals were held on a stage off to the side in the gym. There were about 30 people crowding around the area trying to get a look, but I'm not even sure some people knew it was going on.
ornithology, forestry, entomology, triple E, green generation, water quality, dynamic planet (lakes & rivers), awesome aquifers, meteorology, robot arm, write it do it. :)

I think it must have been more than 30. The bleachers were crowded sinced there was an excellent view from there too but I didn't bother to struggle and find a seat. I just played ultimate frisby outside in the field around where Bottle Rocket was being held.
Goodbye Science Olympiad, until next year.
