0x0x0 cm device: 180

Speaking of device size, about how much would you say is reasonably possible? I've been estimating 40x30x20 for a device that has everything else, but I'm really just guessing.

I'm aiming for 20x20x20 with everything but that may be a little ambitious.

I'm guessing it would be fairly easy to do 20x20x30-40.
My device current is under half the dimensions on two of them and I have a lot of unused space that I could cut out if I condense my design.

This is my first year doing mission possible or an engineering event other than hovercraft (lol), so I’m curious how close to theoretical perfect people actually get at nationals.

Has 70% of perfect historically gotten top 10 at nats? 85% for top 5? Troy for 1?

I'm aiming for a ~1600 score at states (and hopefully past). My guess is first place at nationals will be close to that.

@Ashernoel - Mission varies too much to compare to past years, it's easier to estimate based on current trends. Given that Troy already has very near the theoretical maximum, I would expect over 1550 needed to medal.

(then again, everyone thought we'd need perfect scores to medal in Robot Arm last year, and... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

Good point

Pls dont talk about that

Also I agree on Mission needing ~1600 to medal. I think 1st will be >1700 (my exact calculations for a "target score" that I would aim for if I was a competitor was 1690)

How would one even break 1700.... (cries internally at the thought)

Keep in mind that the difference in target time makes it considerably easier to score over 1700 at nationals than it is at regionals.

Ohhhhh good point. You just lowered my stress levels significantly
