water displacement/real water pump
Posted: Thu Jun 09, 2011 7:20 pm
Unlike other water pump contests, in this contest you will start with a tub and a floating box. The idea is to pump water from below the box floating in the water to inside the box. The box is 3x5 meters and the pump must be no more than 1x1 meter. You may cut the box, but not change the size. Nothing can hang below the box.
Will be graded on:
1. size- the smaller, the more points 20%
2. time to fill box- the faster, the more points 60%
3. simplicity- the less parts, the more points. (you can csg-add to reduce part count. each piece counts as a different part.) 20%
4. bonus points- the pump can pump most, if not all, of the water back out 30%
