I will not be doing mission at regionals but I will be doing it at states. I've submitted clarifications at the national and state levels, and I have emailed the States supervisor directly, but have received no replies.

No matter how you interpret the "visible" rule, that still doesn't address the fact that it is not a "direct" transfer, and therefore not scoreable.

Chalker, what's your view on this black box view? Should we still abide to it even though it is not specified in the rules?

does anyone have an opinion on using like bionicle lego mindstorm like pieces?

and what would be a good chemical reaction. that one is stumping me

personally since its not in the rules it means its not a rule this year. its gone. out of the rules. not there. meaning anyone trying to abide by a rule that is not in the rules does not make since. if it was a rule dont you think they would have put it in the rules.

Hmm...so you;re saying that it's valid to consider a match as chemical?
