-Nothing\'s gonna get deleted. We\'re gonna be like three little Fonzies here. And what\'s Fonzie like? Come on, what\'s Fonzie like?
-Cool?
-Correctamundo. And that\'s what we\'re gonna be. We\'re gonna be cool. Now, I\'m gonna count to three, and when I count three, you let go of your mouse, and back away from the keyboard. But when you do it, you do it cool. Ready? One... two... three.

Re: Flying Bird B/C [Trial]
i have a question. it says this event is a demo event. How is that different from a trial event?

My ornithologist instincts tell me this is one event I need to see.
ornithology, forestry, entomology, triple E, green generation, water quality, dynamic planet (lakes & rivers), awesome aquifers, meteorology, robot arm, write it do it. :)

Re: Flying Bird B/C [Trial]
so are people building their own ornithopter or are they using kits? If so, which kits are good?

Re: Flying Bird B/C [Trial]
EDIT: i dont want to double post so i will use this post instead. We are having a serious problem with getting the ornithopter to flap properly. For example, it flaps fine when the paper for the wings is not there but then when the wing paper is added,it flaps really slowly.

Re: Flying Bird B/C [Trial]
Has it been confirmed that the 2010 rules are this year's rules too? I mean, they're on Soinc and they're the only rules we can find, but it'd be good if we could know for sure.

Nationals 2010: Optics ~ 9th; team (Gelinas) ~ 3rd
