Of all the events I did in Scioly, that was my least favorite (but also one of only two I beat Troy in so...)

OK, thanks! I asked someone if they would like to be my partner, but they aren't intereste in starting this early. Do you think it would be okay if I just built it without them, and they can help me when the rules come out?

yes, i personally start with builds by myself and then see what my partner comes up with, then take the better design, then optimize

Will sounds of music ever be in division B for either 2019-20 season or 2020-21 season? If not, then will I ever be able to do it in the 2021-22 season for Division C?

for the rules this coming 2019-2020 season, can ambiguity be removed from boom with the bolt length? is it possible to request that a single bolt length be used, as this would effect the constructions of one's boom?

I’m not understanding this. It specifies it has to stick out 2.5 cm, bolt length is irrelevant

I was talking ab the bolt that's part of the loading block, the rule is "1/4" threaded eyebolt (1" nominal eye outside diameter), no longer than 3" " I think the "no longer" part should be removed and replaced with an exact value/length

Does anybody know whether or not Air Trajectory will cycle back in for Div. C in the 2020-21 season? Based on the event rotation, it seems like it could be either Air Trajectory or MagLev.
