Next Years Events

[dudeincolorado]

we had a whole big debacle bout that at my school this year. dont worry i all worked out

[Pleiades]

I have no clue what my teams going to do in 2010 once i leave since i'm their main builder and we dont really have any other builders besides one kid thats pretty good at trajectory but i'm not sure if he can build anything else.

new builders only need some guidance. sure the learning curve is steep when introduced to building events, but give him some hints in the right direction and your team should be fine.

yeah, anyone can do the building events, i'd be more worried about my team trying to replace people in the study events

I don't know rocketman we tried to do that this year just put whoever on the building events and we ended up bombing 2 of them and if we had gotten a medal in each of those we would have gone to nationals. The three events with experienced builders we did quite well no worse then third place. a builder needs to be able to understand the device well enough to be able to use it correctly in competition. They also need to have access to the materials so they can build the device. Finally they need to have knowledge enough to be able to build a device so that it performs well enough to represent their team well.

ugh! cant believe rocks and minerals is being replaced by stupid old fossils...

[dickyjones]

Seems like it would've been pretty predictable since they've been rotating them like that for at least 9 years...

dickyjones has got a point they even post the rotation of the events which they normally adhere to pretty well.

[gneissisnice]

And fossils is an amazing event. Dont diss Phacops! And if you dont know what that is, you better start studying.
