If you're willing to post it here, what hotels did you guys in Division B stay at?

We stayed there, and I think Gelinas, Murphy and St. Mary's Elementary also stayed there.
edit: Wellwood also?
That must have been awesome to stay at the same hotel with 3 other teams. I stayed here:

Stayed there for less than
5 hours.

I'm pretty sure that's where we stayed.... we weren't wearing our shirts on Friday night.. and the shirt itself only has C.P. Weber on it in the front where you can't really see it unless you're standing very close to the person.. but I'm positive we were there.

There was a school that also stayed in the Marriott, but I'm not sure who it was. If you saw about fifty kids coming in late, most wearing white, then it might have been you!

At the Division B competition at SUNY-Ulster, what were the weights of the projectile and counterweight used in Storm the Castle? Just curious and what distances did you guys get with your trebuchets given those numbers?

Counterweight: 2.1kg
Projectile: 40g
We shot for 14 meters, and were only a few inches off, but we got 7th place, which I'm content with.

Anything other than 1st Liv is obviously wrong, you should send an email to Harold for no apparent reason.

The only thing I disliked about Ulster was that the Sumbot finals were held on a stage off to the side in the gym. There were about 30 people crowding around the area trying to get a look, but I'm not even sure some people knew it was going on.

I think it must have been more than 30. The bleachers were crowded sinced there was an excellent view from there too but I didn't bother to struggle and find a seat. I just played ultimate frisby outside in the field around where Bottle Rocket was being held.
