Re: Easiest event for you? Opinions! :3
If anyone still checks this thread, I would say Green Generation! It's basically general envi sci concepts from middle school and there's nothing conceptual about it.

I'm here! Green Gen is a fun event, though I prefer earth science. Now that I'm an alum and am writing tests, Rocks and Minerals is the easiest event for me to write for.

I'd probably be terrible at a lot of the builds like It's About Time, Mission Possible, etc. I think the only builds I would be able to do are the balsa ones, Scrambler, and Detector Building.

Re: Easiest event for you? Opinions! :3
For some reason, back in middle school, ecology just came so easily to me. It was the first event I was ever in, and also the only event I ever placed at states in. Kinda weird

Re: Easiest event for you? Opinions! :3
Similar to that, we only started studying for Green Gen a couple days before the event and managed to place in regionals. This is my first year doing SciOly and I feel like Green Gen is just applied school knowledge.Jehosaphat wrote: ↑February 23rd, 2023, 1:39 pm For some reason, back in middle school, ecology just came so easily to me.

Re: Easiest event for you? Opinions! :3
Ohhh gosh. Scrambler LOOKS easy. It SOUNDS easy. But try to build one and well...
Let's just say that as a person who has 3 years of experience in vehicle events, Scrambler was so ANNOYING this year. Short fall height, tiny dimensions, etc. made the car and launcher a pain to design and calibrate. Maybe that's a skill issue, but it's so much worse than it sounds on the rules sheet...

Re: Easiest event for you? Opinions! :3
Interesting! I think the thing with the build events is that they all sound easy, and then end up being difficult because of the grueling rules manual. I feel like that's the most important thing to start with - I'm pretty sure we would've gotten a medal for Bridge if it wasn't for getting tier 2'd for being 1 cm too small.pumptato-cat wrote: ↑February 26th, 2023, 4:34 pmOhhh gosh.

My team pulled off a Scrambler medal by hard work, but I feel that it might've also been luck partially after you described your troubling experiences!

Re: Easiest event for you? Opinions! :3
Oh for sure--I guess it's relatively easy to medal depending on how competitive your region/state is. I'm an overachiever so I always calibrate my devices almost to perfection. But this year, 2nd place JV in my region was like 4 meters off... and that was a silver medal. So I don't think your team got lucky--it's not hard to medal in this event assuming you're not in SoCal or something... It's always easy to build a bridge or a plane, but making it perform well is a whole different story.
