Anyone from engineering here?
Would like to know how seniors build the egg car for the catapult..
Any ideas and advices would be appreciated!
Currently brain stucked and very stress
These are the competition details:
Objective
Design and build a "vehicle" that is powered only by one standard rubber band to transport a raw chicken egg the greatest possible horizontal displacement without breaking the egg.
Rules
1. The vehicle must be constructed from basic components. The components, however, cannot be parts from toy cars. Otherwise, there is no restriction on the material that could be used for the vehicle.
2. The vehicle must not have any parts that can rotate. The egg must not rotate also while the vehicle is moving and must remain on the vehicle so you might want to use a "seatbelt" for the egg.
3. You must design and construct your own catapult using only one standard rubber band. The rubber band may be cut but it may not be treated with chemicals or heated or cooled.
4. The vehicle must be launched using a catapult.
5. The catapult with the rubber band must be anchored to the ground at the starting point.
6. You are not allowed to use any lubricant in the form of liquid (including ice) or powder for test-runs.
7. Displacement will be measured relative to the centre point of the egg.
very ez... u take 2 plastic styrofoam plate... attach it using stay stick... between 2 plates... poke hole at the plates and tie rubber bad stretching it to each side of the plate... then stick rubber band to egg... rolling the egg will cause the band to be elastic.. that's your energy storage... then as you let go, the egg will not move but the plates will roll instead.... tips: use the heaviest egg, grade AAAA and use the biggest and lightest plates with strongest bad.. i was the record holder in my year and was given a cup by dr.lanAny ideas and advices would be appreciated!

Hi, i am interested in computer sc in Monash. However, I am not a superb when it comes to mathematics. i am afraid cs in Monash has tough mathematics and thus this will gradually affect my results? Furthermore, how about the current job market for IT industry in Malaysia?
Do share some subject and guide me on which electives/courses to take while I am undertaking cs in monash next year. cheers!
heard CS is very tough... fren drop out to do ITDo share some subject and guide me on which electives/courses to take while I am undertaking cs in monash next year. cheers!
