Hi everyone, the last time I checked the wiki, it mentioned (recommended) modifying the cd's size so that it has less drag. On the Wind Power page, "alteration of the CD is a good idea..." But the rules states "modification of the CD Is not allowed, except to affix the blades". This outdated?

I struggled with it, until a month before a the competition. There's a perfect saying in Chinese that literally means "open the can" but as an expression means that once you get it it'll be easy for you...

Writing is my thing now, and it's a non-rotating event (I think?) and always there ...

Judging from the ...

For those of you still competing in Ento, or just got an attachment to bugs and want to learn more for studying's sake, here's a community-based website full of pictures (identified by experts/professionals) of insects. It's really good because you get to see more different ones you might not find ...

Obviously Troy for Division C and probably Muscatel for B

So, to get this started, any hints of what to come, or what to look out for?

I got a lot of everything... :D. If you are pressed on time I would focus on all of the big orders (the ones with multiple families listed) and then work your way down to the rarer/less known orders. Besides knowing what ...
