Re: Balloon Task



As long as there is more than 20 cm clear between the balloon and the target. For example, we rolled up the balloon like party blower.

What did you use to keep the balloon rolled up? Paperclip?

We tried first with Mylar ...

Re: The Event Coordinator's Dilemma

According to the rules, it is up to the discretion of the supervisor. In my opinion, knowing some people get put on build events simply for the sake of having two people, as long as one person is able to easily affirm they built it and the supervisor senses it is beyond "reasonable doubt" that they ...

Re: 2018 Princeton University Invitational

My reviews:

Remote Sensing: a solid test overall; it covered all topics well and had an appropriate difficulty level. The math was a bit easier than I was expecting, but I liked how some of the math questions were really creative (#methaneCowsFTW).
