Well... truth.... sometimes things happen that require someone else running an event, but in the end I get the medal and credit for it since I did it. keep the heat is a different story though, since thats not singularly a building event, theres a study aspect to it so I wouldn't expect a medal for it if your device was used, since it did require a bit of their own work to pull it off.Skink wrote:I'm with chia pet. mrsteven has done this quite a bit, as I understand. As long as you get the medal, the 'credit' isn't worth much, anyways. I mean, myself and hundreds of others there don't know your name, so we wouldn't know the difference if it projected you or your best friend for Keep the Heat.
That said, though, I still wouldn't plan on preparing for two events that conflict...I mean, you have two (or more, as it may be) competitions prior to State where the same should be true. But do what you want and what's best for your team. If that means building the insulator device, knock yourself out.
I keep going back to the KISS principle with robot arm this year... I start off with an awesome complex idea and it simples out to how most people would do it... not liking that... Very little 'cool' effect. Functionality is good too, but thats no fun
