Congrats Guys! I was honestly not expecting Columbia to do so well based on the results from MIT and Yale, but you guys did amazingly. Incredible how your school's robot arm got DQ-ed after getting the full score (should have been 1st) and Columbia still got 1st by 20 points. Good luck at nationals! (2 NY schools in top 10 maybe?)fatherhangrid wrote:CHS had some 10th graders good enough to be on their A team this year, and our current B division 9th graders are actually quite good, so I wasn't surprised they did well at states. Even with the seniors graduating, Vlieg has been cultivating a good crop to send up to Prout. Now, the likelihood of us cutting off Gelinas or Eagle Hill this year is...![]()
We swept regionals just as well as last year, but not as much as we were hoping.
Now, to B states! Anyone have a list of the teams that have qualified so far? GMS and HVC are all I know right now.

Re: New York 2016
Took too long to set up. They get 3 mins, but they weren''t ready at the 3 min mark and it took them a little over 3 mins.

Re: New York 2016
Hello Everyone,
I have a question for bottle rocket B at states. I got the gold medal with ten and eleven seconds. However, I heard from other teams that they got eleven seconds per rocket.
IF YOU WERE AT DIV. B NY STATES FOR BOTTLE ROCKET, please post your times, i am trying to find out what happened. Thank you.

Re: New York 2016
Don't worry, classic rounding up. They probably got like 10.2 and 10.4 and rounded that to 11 sec. Or maybe they got like one or 2 11 second runs in practice but not the competition. A few years back I was going helicopters and got a great time but a bunch of people from another schools said they got a time much better than mine. I was a bit upset, but ended up getting first and it turned out they were trollin me. People do it all the the time hah.AmericanAvocet wrote:Hello Everyone,
