Are we permitted to use string and rubber bands in our project?
Yes, some K'Nex kits come with string and rubber bands so these items may be used. Teams do not need to purchase these items from K'Nex.
Are we permitted to make 3D printed K'Nex shaped pieces for our project?
No, 3D printed pieces are NOT permitted.
Can our team use pictures as the blueprint?
There is nothing in the rules prohibiting teams from using pictures as their blueprint. However, teams would receive lower points for using pictures other than something else. Think creatively!
We are using a chain in our K'Nex prototype. Does the chain count as 1 piece or do we need to count each link of the chain?
A chain may be counted as 1 piece per full chain. So, if a team is using 3 different chains in their prototype, they would count for 3 different chains.
