Day 3 is over. Friday was technical exposition day. It's the day where the
engineer in each of us really shines.
Teams set up a display based on their team showcasing the technical elements of their sled. The University of Manitoba Jets had a hockey rink set up. U of C You Ain't Nothing but a Houndbogg had a Vegas wedding both and an interactive treasure hunt.
Our tech display was lit up with over 200 LEDs and we had Tron the movie playing all day. We spent the day, cheering, dancing, playing games and talking about concrete. I really like tech ex day because I love to see how different all the sleds look. It's amazing how many different designs there are, no two sleds look the same. It's also impossible to predict which sled is going to be the fastest. Except our Tronboggan of course. ;)
Tech ex is also the day for technical judging. All the sleds are judged by three groups of judges. The three categories are concrete, superstructure break and steering and safely. The concrete and superstructure design leads give five-minute presentations to the judges and answer any questions. Thanks to our awesome engineering, we passed with flying colours.
Now it's on to tomorrow which is RACE DAY! I can't wait to tell you all about it.
