Re: Being Proactive About Paper Airplanes on Einstein

If my team will let me stay behind I don't mind helping. If i'm going to throw paper airplanes might as well help pick them up.

I know it is an opposing viewpoint, but I like the challenge of getting the airplane to the curtain. In fact my plan was to buy a small buzzer motor that goes in a phone, 3d print a small propeller, attach a small dime battery, throw it, and be done. I agree that it is a problem when people are throwing during Einstien Prep and matches, in fact I was appalled that they threw their planes during that time. Trash at an event like this will happen no matter what anyone does and the staff are prepared for it.

At this point I'm going to be quiet, because the more I try to add the worst it will get. If you want to say your team to not throwing paper airplanes fine, in fact we may do that in the end. I just wanted to say that I liked the challenge of trying to hit the curtain, and that I wouldn't mind helping to insure that others have the same fun when the teams are board sitting in the stands.
