Soda Bottle Competition: (click here for demonstration)
This contest is all about accuracy. We will divide the group into approximately 10 - 12 teams. The event organizers will launch one soda bottle, which will serve as a target. Each member of the team that launches a soda bottle that lands closest to the target bottle will win a prize.
- Launch procedure
- gsmX2 will attach each team's soda bottle to the launch platform
- the team will have 30 seconds to position the launch platform within the launch area
- gsmX2 will add the safety loop
- a team member will use no more than TEN stokes of the bicycle pump to get the pressure to NO MORE than 35 PSI NOTE: If you overpressurize, the water will drain out. The team will launch an air-filled soda bottle.
- Once everything is safe, the crowd will commence with a 5-second countdown
- a team member will launch the soda bottle.
- measurements will be taken where the soda bottle comes to rest.
By following these procedures, the activity is safe. The soda bottle will ascend to approximately 100 feet and descend completely empty.
This is a companion event to https://coord.info/GC9DX4T which will take place on Saturday morning October 29th.
