Quick event review I guess:

Boomilever (2nd): The instructions were clear and the event was well run. Props to JonB for running a build event under challenging circumstances!

As for the other events, I've heard extremely poor reviews from others. The sounds of music test was 40 questions ...

1) You stated that $50 was a fair starting point for many teams, but just like any other build event, inexperienced teams lean towards kits that companies sell to assemble for competition. Although yes, the theoretical minimum is $50, that is only for a team that knows exactly what to buy - and ...

1) To get a Non-Participation (NP) rank ("working robot") it has a minimum budget - a reasonable estimate would be $50 dollars. This could be compared to <$5 dollars for balsa events, <$20 dollars for GV/MTV, ~5 dollars for PPP, etc. For any small team, this forces NS or P points. Anyone can make ...

For alumni who went on to coach teams, how did you go about contacting teams/starting to help out?


I coached events for Solon MS during my first three years of college. Then before my senior year the head coach for the Solon HS left and there was nobody willing to take the role, so my mom and I ...

What I'm proposing is that 28 events are scored, and teams can drop the 5 lowest events, resulting in the same number (23) of events counting towards a team score, and allowing teams to pick which events they want scored more.


Lots of invitationals have a hard enough time running 23 events ...
