I'm not sure about the exact score, but according to my timer, we had: 105 second run time, 90 second chemical timer, 67 second target time.
We had all 14 tasks, the battery bonus, and a 31x31x31cm device.
I believe this results in a score of ~1500.

I'm still slightly nervous to see how this plays out - I talked to the AA Pioneer team, and they thought they had a score of 1540. I'll post if I figure out any more raw scores from MI.

Also, my partner will be posting some info about the device.

Congratulations! I also competed at MI states yesterday. 8 of 12 optional actions broke, it was an unmitigated disaster on my part.

Edit: I thought I should clear this up, a small problem on the mission drained my battery and a lack of available power affected many tasks. I’m going to invest in a second battery to plug in directly before the run.

Wait - Michigan or Missouri?

Either way, I'm sorry to hear that. My worst fear is that one of my devices will completely fail at competition, which actually happened to my Mission freshman year. I'm glad that the ES let us swap out ice/batteries since it took so long to get to our device.

My mistake, I meant MO

I was up fixing mine at 2 am before states. Had I not run the device before than a similar thing would've happened to me

Congrats on your placing at states! Are you willing to share your score at competition?

Thanks! I'd prefer not to say too much, but I have all 12 actions, a chemical timer, and I am almost at the dimensions I set out to acheive. I will also say that depending on beachwood's score there was was a significant point gap. Mason (who broke their flask the night before) appeared to have 1-3 touches, a sand timer (that may have failed), dimensions of what looked like ~30x30x30cm (from a distance), and a run time of 177.2 seconds (per my own timing). They managed to pull off a fourth which considering the difficulties they had is pretty impressive.

I saw that they have been doing this for Towers. What do people think scores will be for top 6 at nats?

1: ~1720
2: ~1650
3-6: 1500+
7-10: 1350+
11-20: 950+

Idk how accurate that 11-20 prediction is though. Curious to see what you think Scott

I'd posit slightly higher on the 11-20 scores, seeing as our 23rd at MIT came with ~850 on regional rules.
