  3. Each vehicle will be given 3 tries with the same AA batteries and the best time from the 3 tries will be used
  4. The 0.9mm thick walls can be used for traction but be warned – the trough may bow outwards slightly with the beans and water inside (We will try and minimise this though) the flange length around the top is 40mm with a 20mm return – CAD file can be found here
  5. You don’t have to use all 3x AA Batteries, if you want to use fewer, make this clear on the google form
  6. Before the switch is flicked the vehicle must be smaller than the size limit
  7. Explosives and any other stored energy supply is still not allowed
  8. It will be an inside event

  10. The carpet will be cream and we expect it to get damp and covered in some bean sauce
  11. The hoops will be made from wood
  12. The trough is the same one as seen in the podiums of the other challenges
  13. We will use a mixture of foam and painting sheets surrounding the area so that entries can stop safely. There will also be someone on duty to stop entries with a sheet if these measures do not work
