Yeah my calculations for a top-tier regional device that I would hypothetically want to have if I were competing ended up at 1450.dmis wrote:Lol.

Re: Scores
I overheard Troy A's size measurements while at impound at MIT. They were along the lines of 25*15*40cm (Troy went for a single wall in the middle design). That gives them about 100 size points, which will be very hard to beat.

Dang their build is fairly high (40cm). I would expect smaller from them. Mine personally is 25 x 18 x 20TheSquaad wrote:I overheard Troy A's size measurements while at impound at MIT.

Do people think size will be the differentiating factor between the top teams at Nationals?

I feel like both the chemical clock and the size will be the determining factor at nats.Iwilsonp wrote:That's crazy small.ScottMaurer19 wrote:Haha nice. Impressive dimensionsKyanite wrote:
