Re: Optics B/C
Ughhh, it was! We had to be sooooo careful, but in the end, a mirror still moved. T.T I think I'm going to practice with sticky notes from now on just in case.

Re: Optics B/C
Did anybody have a mirror setup where the mirrors were attached to something which has the bottom support protruding from under the laser? Something like: 
It messed us up at regionals because we couldn't align the bottom with the lines on my template.

Which is why I've always said don't rely completely on your templates. There are lots of possible mirror designs, so you need to be prepared for a variety of situations.SciBomb97 wrote: It messed us up at regionals because we couldn't align the bottom with the lines on my template.

Re: Optics B/C
The rules this year are very explicit about having some sort of covering over the mirrors. And it's been discussed numerous times in this forum. How could you not know about that?2win wrote: But how can I take off the sticky note without hitting the mirror... T.T /more practice I guess/

Re: Optics B/C
We had mirrors like that at our regional. Our Red and White Teams were able to adjust for it and got good scores, Blue Team did not do so well.SciBomb97 wrote:Did anybody have a mirror setup where the mirrors were attached to something which has the bottom support protruding from under the laser?

It was my naivety, I practiced with only one type of cover, and it was really easy to take off. I've learned my lesson...
