Thank you everyone for your suggestions and ideas.
I'll bounce all of these off of the team and we'll go from there. The process involved means presenting one challenge with a back up challenge to the HHH contact for approval.
We have many constraints but don't know what they are until we present our challenge. An example - with the manilla folder plinkos and roller coasters there was a lot of cutting with scissors involved. That was a no. So we precut everything in advance. It worked out.
If we go with paper planes that (scissors) could be a constraint that we would have to figure that out if cutting was required.
Hot glue guns, dunno.
Chewed bubble gum turtles definitely gets my vote. I'm trying to think what the proposal would look like. Maybe we could quote Scott and then the proposal committee spit out and make turtles as part of the presentation.

Dropping things seems big with you guys. We're flat - a flat pavilion - but - there is a really cool old retired firetruck that was once part of Austin's Zilker park playground and now resides in the HHH play yard - they might could drop stuff off different levels of the fire truck.
Whatever the team opts for and is approved, we'll give credit to you and I will be contacting you to verify materials and directions.
Thank you,
Jane
If folks want to keep posting ideas, cool.
(wonder if Bazooka or Double Bubble is the best...)
Edit: one reason we don't know the constraints is because we are the only science and technology/engineering type group that visits HHH so every year is like a big surprise for everyone involved as to what we can and can not do and what we have not thought of. It's fun and part of the adventure.
