New York 2010

By the way, if any of you Division B WLI people saw a person wearing a shirt that said "Bring Back Pluto" then you're awesome
Anyway, back to the topic Trajectory I HOPE will be as successful as regionals(1st place) at States!

lol for some reason our region didnt offer trajectory, along with like every other building event except bridge and mission....
but yea after invitationals (where our old trajectory got 6th) we built a completely new trajectory, with a brand new design and everything, and it COMPLETELY FAILEDDD!! it just wouldnt work. AT ALLLLL lol so we built another one in 1 day thats exactly the same as our invit. one but w/ improvements and its AWESOMEEEE i really hope i medal...

I posted this on the astro thread, but that one is decisively dead.. so I"ll ask here instead!
Anyone know how much harder the astronomy test will be at states? (i took the WLI regionals one this year)

ik that thread is so dead. I have the same question but from what i've heard it's harder... i know thats vague and thats the obvious answer becaue it *is* a state test, but thats all i know.

only 5 more days!!! =//////
lets hope a tornado hits west pt that day so we dont have to go til next week =D

well, wish you luck. Trajectory is a game of chance......

Any chance it'll involve a starlab? I'm just concerned that if we do need to use one, it'll be pretty darn hard consulting our reference materials in the dark...
Also, physics at WLI was easy, but I'm guessing it'll get harder (and there'll be more of it?) Kind of stinks since I haven't taken physics. Hope my partner knows what he's doing!

I would say pretty much no chance it will involve a starlab... There is no identification, like there was in Reach for the Stars

If I may say something, in a starlab they will usually give you red-filtered flashlights, so you can see what you're doing. You can read notes without a problem, unless you have really tiny, miniscule font.

Considering the number of people, it probably would be very inefficient to use a starlab.

Any insights on the physics section of the test? (e.g. will there be one...?)

Good Luck to all competing at the New York State competition tomorrow and Saturday!
