Where can I get any information on the test? I have not been able to find any.

Thanks!

Our students built their first tower for an invitational this weekend. The tower is not perfectly level. Therefore the chain might be touching the base of the chimney. Will they get disqualified for "9. Clearance to fit Loading Block and chain"?

Thanks a lot for clarification.

Dear all,

New coach head coach here. Last year, I got a color coded event matrix so I know each student can only participate in one event of the same color. For example, Anatomy and Experimental Design is the color, next group is WIDI, Dynamic Planet and Optics....

I don't remember where that ...

If your arm is bending as you pull the arm back I do believe that that wold violate the energy rule as a compressed or stretched elastic solid. However if your arm is straight when in the ready to launch position it is legal, and if the arm bends during lauch it is also legal.

I am not sure what ...

I have a question about the energy rule. Our team uses a carbon fiber arrow as the long side of the arm. It would bend a little when the counterweight is more than 2kg. Another member of our school team questioned if that is against the energy rule. Here is the complete quotation of the energy for ...
