Re: What is the hardest event?
I would think Mission Possible would be the hardest building event, because so many things can go wrong. It's not an event this year though.

Re: What is the hardest event?
I agree. Remote sensing is really hard, especially for beginners because there is are so many concepts and specifics you need to know. Plus, as a beginner at the event it is really hard to get a grip for the concepts unless you're really smart or trained well.dontsenditinthemail wrote:Actually, in terms of just difficult, I personally think remote sensing is crazy hard because there is so much random stuff they could ask about. I mean, satellites have been around for decades, and there are decades worth of data to question on if an event supervisor felt like it.

Was? As far as I know there's nothing to indicate it won't be (sorry for the double negative).

Re: What is the hardest event?
Mission Possible (Simple Machines Version) is and always will be in my opinion, both the hardest, but also funnest and most rewarding event of science olympiad. Whiel you spend endless hours trying aimlessly to get the thing to work, in the end, it is a really cool device, and a great experience (building it).
