Achievement: Criteria and Constraints

• Criteria:
  • You must build a boat, that can traverse the CHS Swimming Pool.
  • Your boat must float atleast one person throughout the competition.
  • Protect your Workplace from dammage!
    • Don't cut on the tables, the box cutter will cut through the table.
    • If you do decide to cut on the floor, you must place cardboard underneath of it.  That way, the floor won't be scratched.
• Constraints:
  • You may use only cardboard and duct tape for your boat.
    • All materials for the project must be cardboard or duct tape.No foreign materials, if present in the boxes, can be used for the boat.
    • Staples, tape, and other materials must be removed from the cardboard boxes, in order to prevent ruining the pool.
  • Cardboard must meet the standards set by the teacher.
  • Each boat must have AT LEAST a 3" flat wall on the sides.
    • No "Surfboards" or sitting on cardboard. Our team had a gondala shape, and our walls were origionally about 3-5", and they were later doubled.
  • All exposed cardboard must be covered with duct tape.
    • This is to prevent the deterioration of the cardboard.  Unfortunantely, we ran out of duct tape, and we were unable to cover most of the inside.  We did our best to recover the cardboard that fell off of the boat.
  • Each team will use One Vera-Table cardboard, and will be given two rolls of 60 yard duct-tape.  Any supplimentary materials must be brought in by the students.
    • Our team didn't use our versa-table, and we brought in all of our cardboard, and we also brought in two rolls of duct tape.
