where we can get the beakers that fit rule 2.c (height ~1.4 diameter)? im not entirely sure if pyrex will work (new to this event), since they are about 1.3.
if pyrex do work, which plastic beakers do too?

Re: Thermodynamics B/C Build
Most times (previously) they don't check for that, unless it's a really sketchy beaker. Standard laboratory beakers (borrowed from your school) should work just fine.

Re: Thermodynamics B/C Build
That's an approximate figure. What you have is almost certainly going to be accepted by your ES. The idea is for students to not come in with non-standard "beakers".C8H10N4O2! wrote:where we can get the beakers that fit rule 2.c (height ~1.4 diameter)? im not entirely sure if pyrex will work (new to this event), since they are about 1.3.

At least its only an invitational. Sometimes it takes a hard lesson to really learn. And you should be happy you got third.Raphael wrote:I Got third place for forgetting to wear my goggles!

But the feeling of a chance of getting first place if I just did something simple as slip on googles makes me angry But its ok

Re: Thermodynamics B/C Build
I'm kind of surprised they let you do the build portion without goggles...

I feel like they would just disquallify you from the build portion at Regionals/States if you didn't bring goggles, and you couldn't find any.

I did Thermodynamics last year and I found that a 3-d printed box was legal and worked very well.

what did you do with the 3-d printing technology that made it better than any other box?james4340 wrote:I did Thermodynamics last year and I found that a 3-d printed box was legal and worked very well.
