Boomilever B/C

[xiangyu]

of course it does, it's unclear as to whether it really means
i was looking through and apparently it meant that the boom has to be pulling at the hook? ofc it would tho

Unless the Boomilevers bottom part is longer than the top part, but then again if it were like that it would probably break instantly, but I don't quite know

hmm,isn't the compression longer than the tension? (or atleast when you measure it)?
edit:spelling mistakes

You guys are talking about two different types of boomilevers. There´s the tension boom and the compression boom, where one is compression < tension nd the other is compression > tension, both designs could work, but compression < tension is typically more popular.

oh yeah, tysm! i think both designs are allowed (ofc)

It's hard to explain what I mean, but it's possible to not obey that rule is what I'm trying to say

It all depends... if tension rods are longer than compression beams, and the rods are therefore on top, it has been called a tension boom. If the pieces that extend from the hook go out at 90 degrees to the testing wall, and are supported through longer angled compression beams beneath them, that type of design has been known as a compression boom. I think most experienced builders would agree that tension booms are usually more efficient. .

Oh I see. See, I've never done boomilever ever before so I have no clue what I'm doing and basing my knowledge off of common sense.

So I'm new to boomilever. For the members, which grains does everyone use? I'm thinking C for compression and A or B for tension and the X struts.
Edit: I just checked our regional schedule. Apparently it will be held using SkyCiv, so I won't get to build anything...

Are we allowed to talk about skyciv boomilever stuff on the forums? @bear

Godspeed, itś always been around (skyciv), and I recommend you don't publicly ask if you're allowed to talk about something.

SkyCiv has been mentioned at a few NSO-hosted workshops as the software for Digital Structure, so SkyCiv is public knowledge. What isn't released yet is the specific rules for Digital Structure.

The Winning boom was made by an amazing girl from california. It weighed 7.7 and held it all, so it was very high. 2nd was harriton with a 8. something boom, and 3rd was solon with a 9.6 gram boom. dont know any others

At this point in time, 15000g was "full weight" as well. However, score was determined by:

mass held/mass device + mass held/10
