BRING BACK MISSION!!!

I can't say I agree with that.

[Phenylethylamine]

Yeah, Mission was kinda terrible, especially if you had to bring the thing on a plane to get to Nationals and then everything got screwed up and failed... the concept was pretty cool, though.

Health Science should be like neurology or sumn

Disease Detectives should change to include something like a clinical diagnosis section...

THey should also introduce an event pertaining to psychological sciences

[Deeisenberg]

Psychology is not science, it is a social science and liberal art. Psychology is more in the family of philosophy than the major sciences.

Well, if you live in NY they have a trial event called sumo-bots, the idea is to push the other bot out of the ring. So it pretty much is battlebots. Anyway I want math event, Sumo-bots to go to all states to replace robo-cross (its definitly going.) And some sort of logical event with thinking a puzzles and working things out.

We definitely don't want Sumobots to go to all states. Don't get me wrong, it's a fun event, but it has a lot of problems. It is only able to accurately determine the first place winner while all the other places have some sort of luck of the draw aspect to it. If only one team from each bracket goes to the finals and you get stuck in a bracket with the first place winner, you'll lose but you might have been able to get the second place medal however you got stuck in that position and thus end up getting like 25th. You would have to battle every team to get an accurate scoring method. So let's just keep it as a trial event as it should be.

Well here’s how it works,
At the beginning of the day all the robots go to face eachother. Then the winners go to a playoffs at the end of the day to decide who the champion will be, kind of like a tournament. And losing bots end up battleing eachother for higher postions so it is completly accurate. Not to mention it is the funnest thing you will every do.

Anyways I am luckly in road scholar, This is my first year and I already got a silver! (btw, the test was about spongebob )

That's because NY States doesn't do that, they just take the winners from each bracket to determine the top places, everyone else just gets tagged with a place.

Bring back Fermi Qs...it was the first event I mastered in div C

[EileenofSD]

People are gonna hate me for this, but...

Awesome Aquifers was, in fact, my favorite event back when they had it, so I'd like that back.

Food Science and Don't Bug Me were a couple other favorites that are gone now, and I had a blast watching my brother do Mission Possible back when there wasn't much of a size limitation. (Geezes, I must've been, like, 3 or 4 years old... I know I hadn't even started Kindergarten...)

I want food science to come back to B and Sounds of Music to come to C next year.

For all you people who wanted a math event - we've got your number has a lot of math in it.
