From what I remember, it was very difficult to travel with
On the other hand, it's also just a glorified rock—you launch it up, and it falls straight down. It might fall slower than a rock, but still.

mandatory /s
oof heli no that bad to travel w imo,, planes kinda harder.

i mean you could just have your heli act like a plane and have it fly in circles

I really hope that Game On is different. Having high school students program in Scratch in this day and age is ridiculous. There are a huge number of better languages to use for this that are at least text-based.

I'd love to see the rubric include more actual code-related subjects (i.e. abstraction)

Anyone else forever hoping for the end of forensics? It seems like the only study/ lab event that never changes. Really awards a team that can dust off an old binder from a filling cabinet every year.

It'll definitely turn, and hopefully there will be some sort of bonus (scores are way too tight this year). Possibly a can bonus or a ramp height bonus or sm like that.
Sorry that NY states was cancelled. PA will prolly fall victim soon also.
