i dont really remember -my partner mostly built the blade i had to work on Scrambler a lot.
But they were like a pinwheel with supports on the back
and i have no cluse what the score was i wasn't really paying attention-u see we resorted to playing hangman and tic-tac-toe because it was a short test and we were the last to test our blade. My partner because he did most of the building i let him set it up

I'm not competing in this, but I just like helping with design ideas. A while back I had thought to design a device like a pinwheel. How did that idea do?

Someone at my Regionals did that. It was 4-bladed and made out of construction paper. It didn't spin at all, though I still think that design can be done.
