The penny boat was designed with a roll of pennies in mind. We wanted to design a boat with tubes so that we can evenly distribute the pennies to keep the boat balanced. It measures just under 100 mm x 100 mm in all dimensions. The tubes were actually designed on different levels to meet the criteria.
