Were they lift-based?
Were they 3d printed?
What material were they made of?
Did they extend to the center of the CD or only near the outside?

Re: Wind Power B/C
They were drag based, spanned the entirety of the radius (12.8 cm?), starting at 4 cm wide slowly narrowing out, and made of a pepsi bottle.vjindal wrote:RestingDoll, what were your blades like in terms of the questions above?RestingDoll wrote:We came in 8th with 335 on low and 593 on high.

If you don't mind sharing how different was this from your States blade both performance and design-wise?RestingDoll wrote:They were drag based, spanned the entirety of the radius (12.8 cm?), starting at 4 cm wide slowly narrowing out, and made of a pepsi bottle.vjindal wrote:RestingDoll, what were your blades like in terms of the questions above?RestingDoll wrote: We came in 8th with 335 on low and 593 on high.

Also how successful were you in using soda bottle plastic? I used to use it but it curved too much so I switched to frozen pizza boxes.

Just adding in the reason I'm curious is because I used a drag-based design for States but was considering switching if we made it to Nationals. Well this edit came out weird.RestingDoll wrote:They were drag based, spanned the entirety of the radius (12.8 cm?), starting at 4 cm wide slowly narrowing out, and made of a pepsi bottle.vjindal wrote:

Re: Wind Power B/C
They were the exact same blades as states. I'm not sure what happened at states, but I don't think we let the blades reach peak capacity which hurt us a lot.maxxxxx wrote:If you don't mind sharing how different was this from your States blade both performance and design-wise?RestingDoll wrote:They were drag based, spanned the entirety of the radius (12.8 cm?), starting at 4 cm wide slowly narrowing out, and made of a pepsi bottle.vjindal wrote:
