Anyone know what time Webster Thomas got in Egg-O? I see top scores listed on the NYS page but nothing for Egg-O.

It was absurd... their parachute went up and just stayed there.. for like... 5 minutes. It went across the river, and so far that they couldn't even see it anymore so they had to call the time. It was amazing. Combination of lucky wind and a good design.

Oh my god, we were joking about what would happen if that relatively strong wind blew one of them across the water, but didn't realize it actually happened- that's hilarious :D

Mostly out of curiosity, are all the regionals done and there is just a huge gap until div B states or is one of the regionals happening really late?

I believe all of the regionals are done, there's just an absurd gap until states, for some reason.

Anyone know how large or what material they made that parachute out of? I want it.

Yeah, it's really stupid. Why we need almost two whole months between states and regionals is beyond me.

It's not that you, or anyone, needs it; it's that New Paltz only has the space available that weekend.
