Revenge of the Hindenburg

The Mission

Design, build, and deploy a team of vehicles that will:

• Release ping pong balls from receptacles at different heights;
• Gather and deliver the released ping pong balls to different scoring zones;
• Pass a team vehicle through an 8 foot diameter hoop located 15 feet above the ground;
• Position your vehicles within a "finishing area" by the end of each heat.

Design Challenges

The contest is a double-elimination tournament where teams (three students) will compete in head-to-head heats. Each team will have 45 seconds to place their system within a launching zone, and then a 3 minute period during which all of the scoring takes place.
