Rules:
The current official F3K rules and tasks are HERE
(text form)
See also the table below for a condensed version of the tasks
themselves.
We will be adding some supplemental
rules on this page in the near future.
They deal with safety (like do NOT
launch into a person!) and other things like mid-airs, landing out of bounds,
etc
Tasks:
The table below represents a "grab
bag" of tasks from which we will choose for each round
We will probably run some tasks twice,
others not at all. For example, we will probably start with Task H
for the first round each day. Reasoning, it's a great warm up round, not
to difficult. I'll probably follow with Task H for similar
reasons. As the day goes on, we can also adjust the tasks to suite
the wind conditions if needed.
We will publish a round schedule here
soon that has an intitial assignment of tasks, check back soon
