Greetings Illinois Science Olympiad Teams,
As we wrap up the 2009-2010 SO competition year we are starting our planning for the 2010-2011 season. We are investigating grant and fundraising opportunities and value your input. What kinds of resources would be important to you? Are you an experienced grant writer? Do you have great ideas, but just haven't known where to express them?
Here's your opportunity! Please take this quick survey and pass it along to your students, coaches and various supporters.

|
| Helicopter Duration |
B & C |
The helicopters that were built in the clinic will not be acceptable for the Nationals. If they use paper cups in place of plastic cups for the rotor blades, their helicopters should be ok.
Section 2b. Materials, Add the word "plastic' between paper and plastic covering on line 1. that is, it should read, "...paper, plastic, plastic covering...."
Section 3c. Flight logs, Change 6 parameters to 5 parameters. |
| Model This |
B & C |
This is a 2-person event (not a 3-person event). |
|
|
|
- The rotor blades are cut from a 16-oz plastic beverage cup. The centerline of each rotor blade is slanted about 15 degrees to the left on the cup surface.
|
- The hub is from a Delta Dart propeller and prop hanger. Most of the propeller was cut away. The red portion is what is left of the propeller that is now a spar for the rotor. Use super glue to attach the rotor blades to the spar.
- The motor stick has to be modified so the axis of the thrust hook is parallel to the stick.
- The "vane" below the rotor is just fabric, either paper or plastic, that is glued to the 1/8 x 1/16 x 8" cross piece and the motor stick. Note that cross piece is offset from the motor stick so its center on the thrust line (the line between the thrust hook and the rear hook).
- Use a double loop of 3/32" rubber strip for power.

Schedule and Scheduling Conflicts |
|
|
|
Here is some basic information about the State Schedule and scheduling conflicts that arise for teams between regionals and the state tournament. Please review this information carefully.
ONLY Coaches and Event Supervisors may contact the directors of a tournament regarding changes/comments etc? Please relay this to parents and students. Parents and students, please contact your coach with issues/problems/etc, and have the coach bring these up with the tournament directors.
Schedule:
We have a committee of coaches and Regional Directors that write the schedule to eliminate as many conflicts as possible. It is NOT mathematically possible to eliminate these conflicts, all we can do is try to minimize them. We take 46 events, put them in a two block schedule for region and then take it to 4-5 blocks for State. The conflicts exist and will continue to exist because of the difference in blocks. It takes a lot of time and effort and begins when we get the National schedule.
Switching:
The definition of an unfair advantage is to allow one team something that gives them an advantage over another team. Any team that has an unfair advantage is disqualified from that event. By allowing one team to change but not another, that creates an unfair advantage.
Switching all teams:
This has been experimented with in the past with poor results. It is no longer considered an option. |
