Re: What's The Coolest Thing A Team Can Give Out?

id have to say our team had the coolest handouts this year bar none...
sorry to all of you who like the slinkies and candy, but you cant beat ours

this year my team (40) had a student design a double layered maze using CAD and AutoDesk. the maze was 2"x2"x1/2" and was red and white checkered (which matched the paint job on out robot and our team rugby shirts). it used a .1" steel bb that went up and down the paths and could fall through holes to the other side of the maze.

we had about 60 to hand out at BAE and they went faster than you can imagine. we made 100 more for Waterloo and those went like lightening. the student personally designed them to be extremely addictive and aggravating to solve.

fyi, we made another game like this last year and during break Dean Kamen and all of the judges were playnig with them.

sorry to disappoint, but u cant beat those
