Of course as we went on some of the engineers got REALLY elaborate in design but the rule about the rubber band power stayed the same, which was a limiting factor on their creativity. It was fun!Veronica Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04732940088047026021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359127447580954749.post-15222997216476896772018-07-08T12:57:18.456-04:002018-07-08T12:57:18.456-04:00This sounds like something I need to try my hand a...This sounds like something I need to try my hand at!

OMG, the designs and the test sessions and the analysis...and it was fun for the rest of us to watch and cheer them on. I did get second place one year (because my opponent's boat veered off and hit the wall).Veronica Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04732940088047026021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359127447580954749.post-54102585936283526892018-07-07T11:17:37.095-04:002018-07-07T11:17:37.095-04:00Rubber band boat races?
