Write It Do It B/C

What was the material?

It was just plastic cylinders and wooden dowels. Some string tying. The construction should have been easy, but I probably flubbed BIG TIME.
We haven't been able to see what went wrong, but I'm kind of scared. 1st at both invites, and then 20th at regionals. Oh well.

Well, string tying can be difficult, because its hard to be precise with the various lengths of string. Also, depending on how many ways there were to connect the tubes and dowels, that could also be difficult.

One thing that me and my partner found out is that lot's of people didn't look closely at some things and missed the arrangement of numbers, like on dice and poker chips. MAny people missed that in regionals so we got first, keep a look out for those numbers!

But anything that can move can be moved in any way without getting points off, so if it can be rotated and it is, thats ok

Well that's just peachy. All I know about my partner is his name and he likes Call of Duty. Do you have any ideas on how to "conect" to his learning style?

It's true that you need a connection with your partner. Me and my partner have been best friends since pre-school, so we understand each other pretty well. And nervousness can definitely affect your work. But clearly defining terms, both before competition and during, can definitely help.

Also, like I've been saying, you can go through different materials and choose terms to go with each. It doesn't help if you just practice without discussing the results and where you went wrong. Go through and tell your partner how you're going to describe certain things (if you're the writer) or he'll tell you how he describes things. Just try to practice and discuss with as many materials as possible

I didn't write that... I definitely don't call things "peachy"

That's weird... Maybe I copied it wrong. Sorry.

Edit: yeah, sorry. That was lilolme. Really sorry.
