Shock Value B/Circuit Lab C

-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: Shock Value B/Circuit Lab C
Same goes for me. I am so glad these events are back. I did shock value 2 years in b division, and I can't wait to start circuit lab!iwonder wrote:Pretty excited for this event... If anyone has comments on the wiki, please do tell, I'd love to fix it

Re: Shock Value B/Circuit Lab C
I think this will be a pretty good year--this event is back really soon, but that just means we're all better at it, eh?
I'm looking to medal at Nats in this...I think I can.

Re: Shock Value B/Circuit Lab C
Optics was a pretty nice event, but Circuit Lab will be interesting.

Re: Shock Value B/Circuit Lab C
Tried this event two years ago, it was nothing short of a disaster. But now that I actually understand basic science, it's going to be a little easier this year.
Nationals Medals:
2012: Meteorology B (6th Place)
2013: Reach for the Stars B (3rd Place)

Re: Shock Value B/Circuit Lab C
Personally, I am excited because Shock Value was my favorite event when I did it, and in the past year I have become even more interested in electricity. However, after trying the first few weeks of 6.002x this past spring, I am also now fairly nervous about the idea of solving problems of that level or even potentially higher within the time constraints of the events.

Re: Shock Value B/Circuit Lab C
6.002x? And it's not really too difficult, the wiki has a really nice section below each technical explanation of something the wiki calls 'the other analogy' that's really helpful in understanding basic electronics. Good luck!
