Would tower chimney still be viable? With the new bonus, how heavy will boomis be now? Aiming for a safe device mass, it might be upwards of 8, even 9 grams early in the season (maybe more 2k+ scores?)

Wdym yikes? This effectively neutralizes all super wide boomis (which weren't very effective ngl) and paves the way for a chimney boomi meta to be rampant this year. (This years rules make boomi way easier ngl) Any "good" chimney boomi would be well within 8cm gap the vertical contact lines are giving you. As for the boomi weights its gonna be an interesting distribution of weights... I was able to get boomis that weighed 5.8-6.4g to hold 12-14.9kg last season so maybe the most competitive boomis end up in the 7-8g region and would hold 15kg sooo scores would definetly be over 2k (Div C). I'd expect national boomis to reach near or more than 3k as people figure out how to boomi (Again for Div C). Right now all teams that got a strong design made that topped 2k last year will be well ahead of most teams as these teams are using 2 types of designs mainly (Which shouldn't violate the rules).

Thanks!

Lol. How else do you think I was able to stay on par with the national champions and national runner ups last year? (Both Stevenson and New Trier are in my state and I'd beaten them on some occasions last year ) Also Silica Gel Beads. Use them.
