hehe na i just have a feeling that they might pull a switcharoo on us, you never really know till it officially up with science olympiad believe me its happened more then once

I suppose so. I never thought of that. Thank you for the hint, oh insightful one.

Maybe JYC won't be a bad event after all.. I'm kinda looking forward to it now

well at least its diffrent im looking forward to it

it will be interesting, to say the least.

The speculation is now at an end. The challenges are Tipping the Scale (same one as at nats last season) and coin sorter (same one as states last season). For regionals, only tipping the scale will be used. For states and nats, you have to be prepared to do both and the event supervisor will announce which one is to be completed.

building them is going to be the difficult part. personally i think the automatic coin sorter will be the hardest.

Hot off the presses:

ooo this will be fun thanks deltahat!

No problem.

Since this is the first run of the rules, there may be issues to clarify. I can give informal help and advice on the event here on the board, but if you have any specific questions about the structure/wording of the event, please use the formal FAQ channels. They will get back to me from soinc where I can give an official, and binding response.

I look forward to seeing how everybody solves these two challenges.
