For the bouncer, you are allowed to set a trigger right? So does the trigger have to be triggered by the falling ball, or can you pull a string at the right time, when it falls

Please answer

I can't find anything that says you can, but I cannot find anything that says you can't either. What I would do is submit a question to http://www.soinc.org/node/479

If you don't get a reply, check with the event supervisor at the competition, but have a backup plan if he/she doesn't let you.

what would be a good score for catapult?...
score = d(n+1),
our best score is 102in accurate 10/10 times w/ tennis balls, so
= 2590.8mm * (10+1) is 28498.8

what are you guys getting?

Our bouncer is going about 2-4 meters with a golf ball.

Is that even possible??
I hate the ramp. It is too dependable on how long you can build it in 30 mins. Faster builders will win if their design is good enough.

Thanks for the website

Wait can't you only launch it 5 times? Or is that just me

You can lanuch each ball once. So if you have 10 balls, you will do much better than if you only have one.

Read the rules through a few times, they are kind of hard to understand.

I know I am not the only one who thinks they should make the rules more clear.

you must choose which type of ball (only one), you can launch each ball once, you are allowed 5 plastic golf balls, 8 golf balls, or 10 tennis balls.
