Naval Engineers Building Challenge
This is a highly strategic game where teams create and build a bridge and a tower using a fixed quantity of basic materials. At the close of the event, we will test all of the bridges using "The Crusher". The winners will be those with the highest towers, and strongest bridges. The outcome is always a surprise!
Bathysphere Bursting
In order to sustain the entire group, each colony must prove their engineering skills. Your Colony must build a model of a deep diving Bathysphere out of the rudimentary materials provided to you. The Council will test your creation in the “Pneumatic Deep Sea Crusher” which simulates the enormous pressure a full scale Bathysphere would face at the bottom of the ocean.
Birdhouse and Tower Construction
The environmentalists’ best scientists have found an antidote for the airborne chemicals! But in order to deliver the RPS antidote you must first capture the birds. Each tree-hugging group must construct a 30’ tower and then hoist a birdhouse of your design to the top to attract our feathered friends. All of the materials needed to erect the tower and raise the birdhouse to the top will be provided. However, time is of the essence. Communication and a healthy dose of the team’s improvisational skills is the key to raising the tower successfully.
Wine Cave and Sharpshooter Look Out
There is an ancient tradition in wine making that little is known about, but is the source of great pride in the wine country. With an ample supply of corks, Popsicle sticks, tooth picks and glue guns warring wine families compete to build two things. The first is a wine cave that must stand up to the crusher; a dastardly pneumatic crushing device capable of
