C.A.P.P.S. Collective is Back!

For the Fall Semester the students have been working and creating machines to solve a challenge issued by the University of Vermont.  The challenge was to

"create a device that can deliver "Emergency Relief Supplies" via a catapult to provide critical supplies to people isolated by the natural disaster. Supplies must be delivered to designated locations in the simulated landscape where they can be retrieved by the isolated population and avoid areas such as swamps, rivers, mountains, and ponds where the supplies would be difficult to retrieve or damaged."

There were 6 scored categories and the students were award 4 1st and 2nds.

1st Overall Design Value Award

2nd Overall Design Value Award

1st Smallest Energy Generation and Launch Footprint

1st Delivery of Emergency Relief Awards

1st Marketing Awards
