Jeff,
The syringe rolls back to base on its own after pushing down the lever. That was one of the two missions my rookie team excelled :)  and it always worked at practice and official round tables at yesterday tournament (Chantilly HS).

Verify the construction of the syringe, in particular, that the rims of the wheels are in the right direction, that is, the rim pattern showing to the outside. I noticed that if they put them the other way, the syringe rolls much slower and sometimes it does not reach base.

Hope this helps. Good luck.

Can anyone assist  with a syringe question based on the tournament experiences thus far, if the models are correctly constructed, will the syringe supposed to roll back to base on its own?  Ie if you tripped the red level by hand as a test, is it supposed to roll back to base? If it does not seem to be rolling back to base, can you request the referee to adjust the wheels before the start? 

 

Thanks,

Jeff
