How will the distance be determined? The blog refers to being determined at the district meet. Do they need to be ready to adjust their catapult for anything from 1-11 meters?
Posted by: BAILEY in UncategorizedYes, teams should strive to build catapults that are calibrated to go from 1 meter to 11 meters (or any meter mark in between!). This is what truly makes this year’s challenge difficult!
*The distance won’t be determined until the district meet, so it will be randomly determined at the very start of the meet. The ‘first’ distance will be between 1-6 meters, and if some teams get that first randomly determined distance, then the 2nd distance would be randomly determined 7-11 meters (only teams that get the first target ‘in’ would get a 2nd shot at a farther distance).
First Target: either 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 meters (randomly determined at district meet by meet organizers – same for all teams)
Second Target: either 7, 8, 9, 10, or 11 meters (randomly determined at district meet by meet organizers – same for all teams)
