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?

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.

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".

At least its only an invitational. Sometimes it takes a hard lesson to really learn. And you should be happy you got third.

Yeah I should be happy for third place
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

I'm kind of surprised they let you do the build portion without goggles... (I know the build portion isn't at all dangerous, but rules are rules)
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?
