i have competed in anatomy, ecology, robocross, and amphibians and reptiles. In anatomy, the testing was very unexpected. In anatomy, the testing retorts to the visual system of study. DO NOT EXPECT TO HAVE A PAPER TEST!!!! I can not express this enough. I expected it to be on paper only, they had the real thing and a good extension of it was identification and calculation. For example, they had me identify the names of 5 plates on the skull and asked me about the bones. For ecology, it was very easy. it is all multiple choice in exception of 3 or 4 questions. They go on the population, the ecosystem, and anticipation of outcomes of the expanding or wanning species. Robocross was very difficult, but ammusing to watch. In this competition, you make your own vehicle and could modify the vehicle by using customizeing kits. One term was very misunderstood. In robocross, if you get an object IN THE ZONE you will get points, so if you can not get anything into the container, at least move the objects into the adjacent zone to get some points. In Amphibians and Reptiles, I was asked about animals with their family names, genuses, and also the scientific name or parts of the animal. It is very hard without reference, i advise not to go into this one without refference. This activity drained my mental capacity completly. Afterwards, i could barely see straight, everything i saw was moving in my eyes. Do not stress yourself on this activity, it isnt easy, but trying too hard could be harmful to your mental health.

My events were antomy and trajectory **with the antomy** it would be a good idea to have a grasp of the skeleton and a better grasp of the circulatory system. For the **trajectory** you should make your device minature or so you can easily take it aprt and rebuild it.
