Always use the Wiki before asking questions...and then see if there's a thread/forum for that event. More that likely, there is.

I was completely wrong. They were mad over something with optics not fossils

See the Physical Science Lab Image gallery for the largest binder I have ever heard of being legally brought into a competition. However, this of course doesn't mean a regional supervisor won't interpret the rules differently or publish their own clarifications.

aw, I remember Its About Time, don't miss it at all

Everyone on my team hated that event. We stuck two kids on it. They weren't bad at it, I think we did well at Regionals and States, but we bombed it at Nats. They hated the event.

Does anyone (particularly the chalkers) know if there will be any major changes for robot arm concerning the arms construction and task?

There will be no major changes on the construction or the task, however there will be a major addition to the event of a documentation component.

Note no major changes does NOT equal no changes. We've tightened up parts of the rules and closed some loopholes here and there to prevent some of the more 'creative' designs that would have significantly unfair advantages.

The field is a bit smaller, otherwise pretty much the same.
