Engineers Week 2009

So I participated in a few events for Engineers Week 2009. I almost won a paper airplane contest, failed in an egg drop, and came in 3rd in a team competition building a 20-ft tall tower out of 50 sheets of 8.5x11 paper in twenty minutes. The highlight though was winning the machine challenge with another Brett. We had to make a car out of K-nex which I'd never played with in my life. It was a classic case of the tortoise vs the hare as our competition in the final round shot out of the gate quick but had been experiencing trouble getting up the hill to the finish line in earlier rounds. For our race it flat out choked.
