Vehicle

Pet Project
Divisions I, II, & III
The problem is to design, build, and run three vehicles that will
deliver parts to an Assembly Area. The team will create a signal that lets
the audience know which vehicle is about to travel and deliver a part. The
parts will be assembled into a pet animal. Once assembly is completed, the
animal will perform a trick. The theme of the presentation must include the
delivery of the parts, the assembly, and the pet animal.

The Email
Must Go Through
Divisions I, II, III, & IV
The team's problem is to create and present an original
performance that includes a technical representation of messages being sent
by email. A Sender character will send three emails: one that requires a
return receipt, one with a work of art as an attachment, and one that goes
through a SPAM filter. Two of the emails will go to a Receiver character and
another will go to an offbeat location. Each email will pass through a
central server before reaching its final destination. Team members are not
allowed to touch the emails while the server is processing the messages
Cost limit: $145 USD.

ARTchitecture: The Musical

For this problem, teams will create and present an
original performance that includes a replica of a documented architectural
structure that was built between 1,000 AD and 1,600 AD. The performance will
include three works of art that "disappear" and two characters that
go on a quest to find them. When the works of art are found, they will be
incorporated into the replica. The performance must also include two songs
that are accompanied by some type of choreographed movement.

Balsa Structure
|
Tumble-wood
Divisions I, II, III & IV
Teams will
design and build a structure made of only balsa wood and glue that will
balance and support as much weight as possible. Before weight placement
begins, the team will present a commercial that includes the structure
rolling down a ramp. The structure will be scored for how far it rolls and
for how much weight it holds. The team will integrate the placement of the
weights into the performance.
Cost limit: $145 USD.

It's How You Look at It
Divisions I, II, III & IV
The
problem is to create and present an original humorous performance that
includes two characters that act naturally -- to them -- but odd to those
around them. One scene will establish the "normal" behavior of one
character that, at some point in the performance, finds itself among others
who react to the out-of-place behavior. The other character's behavior will
stand out too, but this character will end up in a setting where its odd behavior is considered normal. The performance
will also include a meter that indicates the degree of odd/normal behavior
and a creative scene change.
Cost limit: $125 USD.
