Cargo Gliders
The gliders competition has changed from last year and does go on to regionals this year!
Gliders will now be launched using a large rubber band which will be clamped to a folding table, all supplied by Pacific MESA.
Gliders will also have to fly over a 5 foot tall obstacle while holding a "payload" of ping pong balls. Middle school has a goal of reaching the furthest distance and high school must come as close to a specified target as possible.
For more information, please read the rules below and check back for our rules presentation video!
Note: The rules below are DRAFT rules. If you are reading through and see anything that seems odd or doesn't add up, let us know and we can make the suggestion to the workbook sponsors of the competition.
