do yall think they are going to give the coin sorter challenge or the scale challenge at Nats?
anything that happens happens.

anything that, in happening causes something else to happen, causes something else to happen.

anything that, in happening,causes itself to happen again, happens again.

it doesn't necessarily do it in chronological order, though.

Timmytanks could be sorting coins by parachute. If you dropped each coin from the same height with identical parachutes attached, you could sort by the time they took to fall.

How much of your device can pre-assembled? Does it have to be 100% dissembled or can be made of 2 different parts that will be screwed together at comp?
