I'm guessing most probably MagLev, and Bottle's always been popular too. Hopefully those two?

Would they really repeat them? I personally would like some new stuff.

Well MagLev ran extremely well this year, so if they repeat anything, I'd have my money on that as opposed to Bottle Rocket (too many variables that you cannot control).
I'd like to see a new study event. Or a good woodwork build event that I can use as an excuse to use the school's new tech room haha.

Also New York has a tendency to repeat trials. Car of Tomorrow has been in B Div for quite a few years now. And I know Sumo was a trial for a while too.

It's true, New York repeats trial events a lot.

So any ideas? They said that they would be out by the end of june.

It's still too early! When they say "end of june" they mean end of june at the earliest.
I'm more interested to find out where states (div c) is going to be next year.

Hopefully a tentative schedule can come out for states as well. It always comes to an issue of a conflict with the ID events, and I might throw up if it happens again.

That would be very nice.

I sent Mr. Miller an e-mail proposing a new plan. Hopefully, it will have some impact.

Knowing Mr. Miller, I have doubts it will do anything.

I think its just idiotic. The numbering favors certain teams, and causes unnecessary conflicts. Wouldn't it be much smarter to prepare the to-be representatives for nationals by giving them the same conflicts at nationals?
