Mind A-Mazes 2023

You could use another object, such as another bob, to hit the official bob, just as long as the ‘official’ bob is causing each event to happen.  An event caused by a chain reaction, not directly caused by the official ‘bob’ pendulum, will not be awarded points.  Teams may be creative in pursuing how to keep the official bob moving, as long as they follow the rules of the challenge and any blog clarifications.

Yes, but only one ‘official’ pendulum bob will be the one attempting the tasks.  So you may have multiple pendulum ‘bobs’ swinging while your device runs, but only ONE of those pendulums is the ‘official’ pendulum and bob that judges will be observing and scoring tasks it completes.   If a team has multiple pendulums, they need to let their judges know which one is the ‘official’ pendulum that will be attempting some tasks.

Yes.
