and the fact of the rules being totally being redone kinda implies that there will be a different source of power and not fishing rod

wow just got back the raw scores from socal state competition.
it's a lot more competitive than i thought-- i got 11th with 1 point, first was -3.15.
That's depressing, especially since my car really failed that day.
