This October, from Saturday the 20th to Sunday the 21st, pit your building
skills against 9 other teams attempting to assemble the finest
food-flinging machines in the world!
Your challenge is to build a machine in 24 hours (or less) that can fling
the tastiest foodstuff the longest distance with the most style. Teams can
bring in any supplies they want (up to $150 worth-- We will be asking for
receipts at the door!), but you can't put anything together until the start
of the competition. From then on out, it's a free-for-all to build your
contraption using the supplies you've brought in alongside the supplies at
the LVL1 hackerspace.
As with last time, buy only one ticket per team! One ticket gets your
entire team in the door! Try to think of a team name before you show up!
At the end of the competition, teams will judge eachother in the following
categories:
- Taste: How delicious is it, after being flung?
- Distance: How far did you fling it?
- Ingenuity: How well-built was your flinger? How crazy?
- Appearance: Is your food recognizable on the other end?
Scores in each category will be averaged, and the top three teams will
receive their assorted glory.
The rules:
- $150 budget, not counting parts from the boneyard at LVL1
- Must be built in 24 hours (nothing preassembled!)
- Team size is unlimited (in either direction), but 3-6 is recommended
If you have any questions, feel free to email me at BradLuys...@gmail.com

A few questions that others will likely have (besides myself),
Does the $150 include food?
Is it required to use something from the boneyard, or does the percentage
of boneyard parts weigh in the voting?
Does the food need to be prepared before its flung, or during the process
etc?
Will the flinging be indoors or out?

1) Yes, $150 includes your food budget.
2) You are not required to use anything out of the boneyard. Teams will
judge each other, so if your fellow competitors value boneyard contraptions
more highly than home depot contraptions, then it may confer an advantage.
3) The food may be prepared before or during the flinging process. Teams
will judge each other, so if your fellow competitors value self-cooking
contraptions more highly than non-self-cooking contraptions, it may confer
an advantage.
4) The flinging will take place out of doors.

You don't have to use anything from the bone yard but the option is there.
I don't think there has been a flinging location set yet. It kinda depends
on what everyone is making. I would say it is highly likely this will
happen outside.
All judging is self judged and the rules are as few as we can get away
with. But you know what they say about rules....

I fear there has been less than adequate shit talking in relation to this
competition. As such I would like to formally declare that I hope you all
like sucking tacos because we are about to own you all.
