OH SHUT UP!!! I'm assuming you watched it? For those who wernt there, the plane broke on the ride there [got attacked by the scrambler i think] so I was doing repairs the whole morning and it added a ton of weight. I had to use a different wing which set the CoG way back because the wing was tiny compared to the one i was used to. The only way to get the CoG back up front was to add a lot of clay which added a lot of weight. After all that clay and glue the plane weighed too much to go up. I was very disappointed because the plane did really well during practices.

At my regionals I saw a plane get stuck in a basketball hoop. It just kinda hung there. I guess since it never touched the ground it had a really long time! I don't know if they got it down or not, I had to go to pentathlon.

Ooh.. Sorry plaetis I was thinking of the wrong school :-/ I thought Galvin was in the green t shirts cause who ever they were had a really good plane... SORRY!!!!!!!!

bumping MA up :]

it's ok I think Curtis may have had green shirts.. at least i think they did last year. I believe their regular team got first place in WS but i'm not quite sure because my coach wont let us see the score sheet

lol... i don't think anyone has asked for us...
I'm so happy i have a trial event!

Hello everybody. I am going to be the co-president of a new science olympiad team starting up in Mass! It's going to be C division and it's going to be hailing from the city of Quincy! For those of you who don't know, we're about 8 miles from Boston, or about a 15 minute T-ride. So, anyone have any advice or any suggestions for a new team that's going to be starting up?

I'm moving to Massachusetts this summer and though I will miss my team in New York I am excited about joining a new one! My goal is to get them to nationals so I can see my old friends, lol. :]

Good to see some new teams. Division C is growing to the point where regionals might be necessary. First of all, make sure you have funding. It isn't completely necessary but if you want to be competitive, you'll need the money for some of the building events. Also, I think it helps to have a lot of people interested in it. It's better to have 20 people competing for the 15 spots than have 15 people automatically make the team because there is no one else interested. If people are competing for spots, then they might practice more than they normally would. [this isnt always the case] Don't be discouraged if the team doesn't perform as well as you wish the first year, it takes time. Best of luck to your team!
