Re: WiFi Lab C [TX TRIAL]
Heyo! I did this event as a trial at the Ohio state tournament last year. It is a lab event where you build an antenna before competition and take a test about radio spectrum information and different components involved with communications technology (primarily radio frequency based comms).WhatScience? wrote:thought i'd give this thread some love...what are the rules?
Here are the rules to the event held in Ohio: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8J6w ... 0xPR3pKU0E
I’m assuming that Texas probably has similar rules to this. I can provide anyone with the resources that I put in my binder last year if anyone wants (Placed fifth without even building an antenna lol)

Re: WiFi Lab C [TX TRIAL]
The rules (for wifi lab) on soinc were different than those on the Texas page. After contacting the Texas coordinators I learned we should use those posted on the Texas page.chalker wrote:All national trial event rules (including WiFi lab) are available on the official website: https://www.soinc.org/learn/trial-events

Re: WiFi Lab C [TX TRIAL]
Is it possible to use an antenna that I’ve bought online?
And what are some good distances to go by when testing the antena?

Re: WiFi Lab C [TX TRIAL]
Well, the rules (specifically Rule 3.d) say “the antenna may be constructed of and contain any materials EXCEPT for commercial antenna parts or magnets”... so I wouldn’t.Saucycedo wrote:Is it possible to use an antenna that I’ve bought online?
Re: WiFi Lab C [TX TRIAL]
I feel that it will not be easy. But worth a try. Why would it be better to start, can you advise something to the mechanic?
