Hi all,<br>
<br>
Thank you for signing up to participate in the <span class="il">Campus</span>
<span class="il">Build</span> <span class="il">cardboard</span> house
building competition! This email contains details and logistics about
the competition.<br>
<br>
The objective of the competition is to <span class="il">build</span> a
stable structure big enough to fit all team members. Each team will be
allotted an area of the Kresge BBQ pits approximately 10 ft by 10 ft. Each team
will be given 5 rolls of duct tape (~50 yards per roll) as well as 3 box
cutters. (ALWAYS retract the blades of the box cutters before putting
them down.) This year, we bought cardboard boxes (instead of giving you yucky cardboard we scavenged from dumpsters). Each team will receive three 22"x22"x22" boxes, three 18"x18"x24" boxes, four 18"x18"x16" boxes, and five 16"x12"x12" boxes. If we have extra boxes, you're welcome to use them - but please don't hoard the extra cardboard.<br>
<br>
You may bring measuring tape/rulers as well as decorations for your
house - however, you may not bring anything that could add structural
support to the house. You may stick things into the lawn of Kresge Oval
as long as they are shallower than 3 inches. Please do not dig holes
in the lawn.<br>
<br>
Remember, teams are highly encouraged to have at least one representative
present during the entire competition, from 10am thru 6pm.<br>
<br>
