iirc its only elastic launched glider but hand launched gliders would be nice ;)

pleaseeee chalker
Are they taking helicopters out of the rotation because since they changed it last year events now "follow competitors" like some people will have 4 years of wright stuff next year in a row.
I thought they wanted to prevent cumulative knowledge from building up too much, as it would provide a large advantage to those in the event for that many year.

Side note: it could be 6 years if ews comes in after ws;)

Does Code Buster content stay the same from year to year?

I'd expect them to add some new ciphers, and hopefully make a few small changes (Scientific non-graphing calculator please?). It should generally be the same though.

I made this page a while back, it has a list of the rotations.

Hey guys I’m pretty sure someone may have asked already but does anyone know if it will be parasitology or ornithology next year? I feel like they could switch it up a little but I don’t know if they would. :ugeek:

I don't know if they'll add Parasitology, though, and I feel like it's more likely than not that they won't. They just added Herpetology 2 years ago, and the cycle is now 10 years between events. That means no competitor will get to do every event in the cycle. I mean, what makes Parasitology better than any event currently in the cycle anyway? It doesn't need to be added and it shouldn't be.

Parasitology isn't on the featured trials list
