Sorry, if you are a student or coach, the only appropriate way to contact national event supervisors is through the NSO website FAQ page.

If you are an ES or Tournament Director, contact your State Director, they can make connections as appropriate.

And yes there are national event supervisors active on this list (I'm one), but they've self ID'ed. I'd don't think I've seen the Rotor ES do that.

For that person who said they got 6.1 seconds, i have to ask was that WITH the egg? Or just a plain device? Is it legal?

It does not look like it had an egg of an appropriate size.
It is not legal because it did not rotate and thus is a parachute.

It does rotate, very slowly, and we have a 56g cup of paper clips attached to the bottom of our device. I will be happy to answer and other conserns or questions :D

I think it looked fake too much, you can actually see the egg drop stop between moments.

Also, the wing hit the ground first, it would have been DQ'ed.
