2009 2010 Problems

Hello OOTMnauts below I have listed all of the possible problems for this comming year:

Problem 1: Nature Trail'R
Divisions I, II, III , & IV
This problem requires teams to design, build and drive a human-powered vehicle and camper that will go on a camping trip. When the vehicle arrives at the Campground, the camper will be disconnected and the vehicle will travel on a team-created Nature Trail. On the Nature Trail, the vehicle will overcome an obstacle, clean up the environment, encounter wildlife, and undergo a repair. The performance will include a character that is in or near the camper that explains the experience as part of its role. Sponsored by NASA.
Cost limit: $145 USD.

Problem 2: Return to The Gift of Flight
Divisions I, II, & III
Teams will make and operate a series of aircraft that will complete a variety of flight plans. The flight plans include flying straight, making a target spin, traveling slowly, dropping something into a target, touching down and taking off, and a mass launch of multiple aircraft. The aircraft in the solution will be made of a variety of materials and will have a variety of power sources. The testing of the aircraft will be presented in a team-created performance that will include a character that serves as a creative "air traffic controller."
Cost limit: $145 USD.

Problem 3: Discovered Treasures
Divisions I, II, III & IV
Teams will create and present an original performance that includes the portrayal of the discovery of two archaeological treasures. One portrayal will be a team-created version of the discovery of an actual historical treasure. The other portrayal will be the team's depiction of a modern sculpture or structure that exists today but is discovered in the future. The performance will include an artistic representation of the two discovered treasures and characters that are part of the discovery teams.
Cost limit: $125 USD.

Problem 4: Column Structure
Divisions I, II, III & IV
The problem is to design and build balsa wood columns that will function together to balance and support as much weight as possible. The columns must not be connected to each other in any way. The team will test its Column Structure by placing weights onto it. The team will add weight until its Column Structure breaks or time ends. Bonus score will be awarded for the number of columns used. The team will incorporate the testing of its columns in an original team-created performance.
Cost limit: $145 USD.

Problem 5: Food Court
Divisions I, II, III & IV
The problem is to create and present a humorous performance where a food item is accused of being unhealthy and must defend itself among its food peers. All characters are food items and will include "the accused," "the accuser," a jury that is not portrayed by team members, and additional team-created characters. The jury will reveal its decision to the audience.
Cost limit: $125 USD.

Thanks Anna, Christian will be very happy to see this. Now I must use subliminal messaging to make the rest of the OOTeam pick Nature Trail'r! Muahahahaha!!!

umm... yeah you do that

Brian what if we did a spoof on Coraline, Caraline..... Awesomeness right??

Awesomeness, but I don't want to scare any small children. I'm just thinking, it might be hard to build a whole cast of cars, and we would have to pick a movie that takes place in the woods...

What the heck are you guys talking about? Also, I think the buried treasure one sounds cool...

Why the silence? :suspect:

I believe that we don't want to talk about our secret plans. Maybe we are just lazy Oh wait! I'm talking about it! *ambushed by spider woman from Coraline in car form*

What are you talking about? I didn't see Coraline, btw.

y'a ll are insane... btw ni'er Peter nor patrick nor Christian is on the forum, they still have to follow up with a recognition email

Really? And here I thought they were just invisible! *SARCASM* another favourite

Yay! Livi indicated sarcasm!

Yes, I can do that, or can I? :suspect: This :suspect: is giving me inspiration for my posts.

Food court, tbh.

Tbh? Treasure. :suspect:
