Anyone know what time Webster Thomas got in Egg-O? I see top scores listed on the NYS page but nothing for Egg-O.

It was absurd... their parachute went up and just stayed there.. for like... 5 minutes. It went across the river, and so far that they couldn't even see it anymore so they had to call the time. It was amazing. Combination of lucky wind and a good design.

Oh my god, we were joking about what would happen if that relatively strong wind blew one of them across the water, but didn't realize it actually happened- that's hilarious

Mostly out of curiosity, are all the regionals done and there is just a huge gap until div B states or is one of the regionals happening really late?

I believe all of the regionals are done, there's just an absurd gap until states, for some reason.

New Paltz changed the date on them, twice.

Anyone know how large or what material they made that parachute out of? I want it.

for anyone who did experimental design at states this year, what did you guys do as your experiment?

Yeah, it's really stupid. Why we need almost two whole months between states and regionals is beyond me.

It's not that you, or anyone, needs it; it's that New Paltz only has the space available that weekend.
