Re: The Event No One Wants
ahhhhh.... a well documented issue across several years of Science Olympiad.
..... Disease Detectives was the event my high school would always struggle to find kids for.... too many sweaty pre-med kids.

Codebusters absolutely for our team. Nobody wants it. Nobody likes it. Chem lab too, probably.

Re: The Event No One Wants
I don't understand why trajectory is so bad this year. I understand the complex events like wifi lab or even detector building, but trajectory is fairly straight forward yet I've seen some terrible efforts out of really good teams. I took third in a competition this weekend with two scoring launches over 40 cm which is awful, but somehow only three teams beat us.

Re: The Event No One Wants
Maybe "build a musical instrument" sounds too hard?
I think Covid has some blame here. Lots of B kids have missed out on traveling to physical events and seeing all the builds that similar-age kids have made, and have had fewer opportunities to do hands-on anything.

Re: The Event No One Wants
Yeah I would agree, especially looking at our middle school team (90% 6th graders). Nothing for PPP, Electric Wright Stuff, and Storm the Castle. They only have a bare basics Mopple and a Mousetrap Vehicle from a kit, both of which I mighthavekindapressuredmybrothertodostuffwithhaha-knightmoves wrote: ↑March 1st, 2022, 8:00 am I think Covid has some blame here.

Builds are kinda intimidating when you don't know what you're doing, and covid taking away a bunch of invitational oppurtunities does kill a lot of the momentum for doing stuff like that
EDIT: Mopple got denied, no one avaliable that block apparently
