I took 1st place in the Potato WIDI, so I'm not complaining... The whole thing looked like a bug, it was actually a really fun WIDI to build.
Also, they were small red round (almost spherical) potatoes, and the pins and toothpicks we had to insert were in distinct locations - directly up, directly left, and so on. It was definitely repeatable and fair.

Congrats bro, hopefully my partner and I can rise to the challenge at states

Sounds a little . . . odd. And messy. I'm glad my region used normal building materials!
(I''ll give your regional proctor points for creativity though!)

Yeah, definitely a strange one...maybe they ran out of styofoam or something and the closest they could find on short notice was potatoes.

I like the potato just from an environmental stand point. Those potatoes will compost but the Styrofoam ball will be in a landfill forever

Yeah maybe that's why. Go environmentally friendly WIDIs!

Do you have to define N, S, E, and W as being the cardinal directions or can you just use them?

Yes you do, because they're abbreviations.

if i use x to stand for pieces, for example, 2x2 blocks, will they take points off for that?
