BORED? NO SUMMER PROJECTS?
Expand your engineering horizons and build a cardboard boat! Yes, I said cardboard boat.
CLick Here for and idea of what it's like. There's an race in Galesburg, IL on September 10.
Team 648 will be there with 2 boats; Our "FIRST" Attempt (Winner of 2 class II competitions) and their debut 2nd year boat... GP Unit (Expected to break all records held).
This is an incredible event held at Lake Story in Galesburg, IL.
Visit
Great Cardboard Boat Regatta for more information and pictures.
I think last year's boat cost approximately $400. Cutting costs isn't hard.
QC Elite will be sporting Class 2 boats. Those are the mechanically powered boats and more of a challenge from an engineering standby.
I hope to see some teams out there.
(I'm hoping to get an area on our webpage sporting different designs from students on the team. And tips and tricks.)
Any questions? Feel free to PM or email me.
