Data Collection: Year 2022-23 - Senior
Although specimen is now called a "senior citizen", he is still a tiny creature. Specimen is named "Captain". The concerning world event is waning and specimen is on the way to return to in-person competitions. Specimen is driven crazy by the nightmare inducing Massachusetts state schedule and is currently bashing some bodily part against a wall while trying to piece together a team for two schedules. Specimen gains a large rock (highly concerning) and manages to not die from Salmonella from rotten eggs. Specimen remains a co-head coach of Diamond. Co-director of Lexington Invitational

Data Collection: Year 2021-2022 - Junior
The small creature trend continues for Specimen, who is named "Engineering Lead" and placed on A team. Unfortunately, the concerning event that appears to have taken over the world continues strong in the northeast, and the competitions are still online. However, mini has progressed towards satellite, and builds are (somewhat) back, which specimen is greatly looking forward to. Birds vs Water was a tough battle, with water winning. Hoatzin dives into the world of un-salty water and rocks, part of "Earth Science" (this continues to be a concern), but also dives headfirst into the world of wood, screws, and other hardware. Specimen is now a co-head coach of Diamond. Co-director of Lexington Invitational.

Specimen is still a small creature. Was named a "Liaison" and placed on Varsity. Something else has appeared to taken over and caused specimen to have to stay some specified distance from other creatures and thus all the competitions were moved online. This allowed specimen's team to go to many more invitationals than normal. Specimen is now better known by the name Hoatzin. Hoatzin has continued to dive into the world of birds and fossils, and learned a lot about oceans. Discovered that "Earth Science" (concerning) is quite interesting. As a more build-focused creature, decided to take up Digital Structures for the lack of actual builds. Specimen continued to coach Diamond. Co-director of Lexington Invitational.

2 : Scioly Monthly Event Challenge - not a formal tournament, just some fun from scioly.org
** : Specimen was subbing in for an alternate on the Alternate team
- : Specimen did not compete or event was not held
Data Collection: Year 2019-2020 - Frosh
Small specimen made it to a big high school with many big names. Teams were unstacked going into Harvard, specimen was on Team B. Notably made some beautiful flying objects, which was slingshotted and crushed while winding the night before Harvard requiring a one-night-build. After Harvard, specimen was placed on the states team and on Ping Pong Parachute. Lots of work was put in afterwards at a barn, but due to something known as COVID (What is this? should this be of concern?) states that year appears to not be on our record. A coach of Diamond.
Data Collection: Year 2018-2019 - Grade 8
Specimen was happy to finally be on varsity after many hours of work. Probably spent the most hours on scioly this year. Managed to finally win states after an impressively long streak from Coolidge. Took up Gliders, which turned out not as fun as building planes powered by spinning rubber. May have gotten sucked into "Earth Science" (once again, is this of concern?) after having a great fossils coach. Suprisingly did well as water quality until meeting floating bugs at nats. Enjoyed Battery Buggy (aka Curling) a lot, and had a high-accuracy buggy which crashed somewhat, due to creature error at nationals.

Specimen was once again on an alternate team. Tryouts score distributions looked like a Keeling Curve. Spent a lot of hours and the brain knowledge increased. Discovered that "Lab Events" are not very enjoyable although building is fun. A very good year for Wright Stuff and suprisingly focused on physics events.
* alternate teams did not get ranked at states
Data Collection: Year 2016-2017 - Grade 6
Specimen was a small creature on an alternate team. Became attached to making weird flying objects over the weekend that flew in circles. Also became wary of burning plastic and expired pringles. Tried but failed to get into many builds. The flying object happened to snap in half at states.
