Cardboard Canoe Challenge

I am claiming 9 achievements!

        Each group was given a couple weeks, 4 rolls of ductape, and as much cardboard as we could find to build canoes to race in a pool. We were only allowed to use ductape and cardboard. Our approach of a v bottom failed as planned. It was still pretty fun.

We only have witnesses for our achievements.

Our achievements were : Sketch Idea , prototype idea, select an approach, built it, early bird gets the achievement, and V-bottom

For the feedback achievement; positive = hydrodynamics, and attempted V-bottom
For change; get rid of V-bottom, develop another power source. Some questions we had included; were we allowed to use rope? kick-boards? for new ideas I believe that a flat bottom would increase stability.\




How low did you go? our boat went 2 feet under water.
Our made up achievement would be "drenched" which would be to fill your boat with water completely.
