Survival Challenge

Imagine that the year is 2201. The Earth as we know it no longer exists. Through a catastrophic event the human race has nearly ceased to exist. A multi-discipline group has survived and needs to rebuild our civilization using only recycled materials that can be scavenged from the existing environment.

In this challenge you are an engineer on a team that will create mechanical systems to help rebuild our civilization.

Procedure

You will be divided into the groups that will solve the Survival Challenge. Using the knowledge acquired while building the mechanical gears, design and build a model for one of the following tasks.

All of the listed requirements must be met. To survive, your class will need to complete all of the tasks below. Be creative, but complete the tasks.
