For those of you who dont know. I have to do a cardboard boat race for my physics class. On the off chance you havent guessed, the name of our boat is going to be "Banana Boat". No i didn't chose it, though it fits perfect doesnt it?winking smileyLOL

Alright i promised a few of you a video of the actual race, which takes place next Tuesday. So I thought you should also be kept up to date on what kind of progress we are making.

First off, you get the history, rules and scoring of the event.
Here is the background of the whole event.
Some construction rules
event rules
some possible awards

now on to our progress.

heres the cardboard we start with.

making sure the measurments will work.




Update


So today we were able to decide what type of desine we wanted...finally...and were able to make a prototype.

we started by cutting out 3 scaled down pieces of poaster board
debated the possible ways we could make the front and finally just put it together
then it was time to see if it was ready for the water
then if it would hold any weight
now off to the real stuff (and they decided they were in pics i needed to be in someeye rolling smiley)
and we were able to put in the measurements for the real thing, so we can finally start cutting and gluing it all togethergrinning smileyarrr!



It's not supposed to go like that, its not intended to end that way, life is a journey, constantly turnin' down an unknown path, but its not supposed to go like that

Thursday we finally got our 4th person to help out
then we did more measuring and some creasing (evil people made me put that picture) and some gluing then waited for it to set so it looked like this at the end of the night.

Then we did some more measuring, cutting, and gluing and ended up waiting for it to dry again. and after more work, it looks like this
