Yes, but the original comment seemed to imply that DankMcIntosh is presetting his device to a certain time, rather than making it adjustable and setting it in the thirty minute setup period.

Wait is the high end 120 seconds now? Didn't it used to be 180 at some point? Or was that only Div C?

I think 180 was when they stop time no matter what, like that's the maximum amount of time it can go if it fails. So if your timewaster was still running after the Target Time, they wouldn't stop it until 180s.

Yup

Well, I am just wary to have an 'adjustment feature' because I don't want to mess anything up And also Unome, the high end is 120 seconds at least in Div. B.

Well, you do get 30 minutes to set up and adjust everything.

Yea, also, since they let you know the TT at impound, you should be able to be ready to adjust your Mission bybthe time your 30 minutes start.

Yes, true dragon fruit. We just totaled it up and tentatively we have 790 + the time scores.

How many transfers do you have?

11 transfers + start task + end task + dimensions + TSL and Setup. this doesn't include the time points.

At Nationals, I got a score of about 1120. I had 17 transfers, with dimensions of about 32 by 23 by 18, but my time waster went 27 seconds over, I lost 25 points for because an object going up an inclined plane didn't go far enough before acting as a wedge, and lost 65 ( ) points for touching something.

How'd you lose 65 points? I thought it was 15 point penalty for touching.

No, you lose 15 points for the touch itself and lose points for the transfer(s) it was involved in. Since it was in between 2 transfers, I lost 50 points, plus 15 points for the touch itself.
