Prior to the tournament, teams will construct, collect data on test fights, analyze and optimize a free fight rubber-powered aircraft to achieve maximum time aloft.

Prior to the competition, teams design, build, and test a Roller Coaster track to guide a ball/sphere that uses gravitational potential energy as its sole means of propulsion to travel as close as possible to a Target Time.

Teams will design and build a Tower (Structure) meeting requirements specifed in these rules to achieve the highest structural efciency.

Teams must design, build, and test one Vehicle that uses non-metallic, elastic material as its sole means of propulsion to travel a distance as quickly and accurately as possible.
