Re: Physical Science Lab
It could be plausible I guess. They would have a combo of incredible blades and a powerful fan, I guess. Whatever it is, wow I'm glad I'm in Cal and not in NY. I don't want to compete against that. Great job!!!
Science Olympiad is a tribute to Murphey's Law. This has been proven experimentally.
And no, I'm not a guy...even though my sig says will robsinson. It's a reference to Lost in Space, an ancient sci fi TV show. And the robot is the character who always says the line.

Re: Physical Science Lab
They used some sort of flexible plastic sheets, about the weight of those plastic section dividers for binders. I have no idea how they bent them, but one of their parent coaches I think is a physicist of some sort and helped them figure out the optimal angles and stuff.

Re: Physical Science Lab
we tried melting plastic and it literally just put a hole right through it. We could figure out a way to get just the right amount of heat to mold but not melt, so i think that is unlikely, though maybe we just did something wrong

Re: Physical Science Lab
We almost successfully melted it, but was too fragile and it broke. (but when tested it before it broke it was really good)haven chuck wrote:we tried melting plastic and it literally just put a hole right through it.

Re: Physical Science Lab
Oh, I'm sorry if it wasn't clear, I meant "I have no idea in what way they bent them." The plastic was flexible enough that it could be bent without any special measures like that.
