Today began with finishing up our technical display and putting the finishing touches on our sled. Logos of the diamond and platinum sponsors were put on the sled and then it was time for the judging to begin. Power point presentations were given to panels of judges regarding the Toboggan's concrete and superstructure components. Each of these was followed by a question period. After this the weigh-in occurred and the University of Alberta Toboggan weighed 281 lbs in total, which was less than the 300 lb weight limit. The weigh-in was followed by the safety inspection which we passed with only one modification to the length of our steering cables to ensure they didn't become tangled in the event of a crash.
The afternoon was spent getting to know the other teams as well as presenting the toboggan to other judges. The toboggan was well received and many other competitors complimented our design and sustainability. Tomorrow will be the ultimate test as we will be racing our toboggan against the 20 other teams.
