Re: 9th Graders in Division B

I don't think my brother implied that... he's saying that 8th graders can be just as good as everyone else, including freshmen. He's trying to show examples where 8th graders performed extremely well at the national level to support his point that 9th graders aren't needed to make a good team. 9th ...

Re: Those moments you will never forget!

In the hotel before Harvard, and my friend's sink getting clogged. We went to the coach's room and their door was open so we furiously knocked...no reply.

Re: Mystery Architecture B

Hello!
I was wondering if anybody knew how to build a tunnel? I get a general concept but am still unsure of how to successfully build one. How would you practice for one? Would it carry a load? If anyone has made one before, at the competition or not, any tips help.
Thanks :)
