Clarifications:

Electric Vehicle will not Impound at States. Teams will turn in their vehicles at the start of the event block.
One conflicting rule is 3k and 5f about the pencil being used to start the vehicle. 3k specifies the eraser end, 5f says any part. We will be enforcing rule 3k, requiring that the eraser end of the pencil be used to start the vehicle.

Description:

Teams must design, build and test a “vehicle” which uses electrical energy as its sole means of propulsion. They should be able to adjust the vehicle to travel a distance specified by the event supervisor.

Scoring:

  1. Each team’s Final Score is the better of the 2 Run Scores. Low score wins. 
  2. Run Score = Time Score + Distance Score + Run Penalties.
