Trajectory

Event Description:
Type: Build Event
Team: Two Individuals
Either if you have passion for physics and mechanics or working with tools and building in general, trajectory is by far, one of the most interesting build events Science Olympiad has to offer! Essentially, competitors must build a catapult (within set parameters) which launches a projectile to a certain destination (revealed on test day). Therefore, you have to engineer not only a catapult, but a mechanism on the catapult itself to manipulate the distance it travels.The closest to the destination wins. All and all, trajectory, while it might be a little complicated, is sure to not only improve your skills in understanding physics and mechanics, but also help you create memories you won't forget.
