Sounds like a ton of fun...
on a side note wouldnt putting a wing on a boat make it slower because you would have more force on the water...hence a hydrofoil so you can get a much of the boat out of the water and reduce drag...just a thought

What wing are you talking about? Do you mean the wings on the rocket ship in the background? Just so you know, they cut those off for the last race. They were for decoration.

If you are talking about the spoiler on the back of our boat. That's there for decoration.

You built a boat shaped like a shoebox, and you came in third place?

Please tell me there were more than 3 boats racing :^)

FIRST really has to hold a water based competition so students get some exposure to fluid dynamics!

The head bands are cool.
