and more...

Space Derby - May the Force Be with You

Space Derby
Sunday, March 9
New location: Heller Hall

There will be a $2.00 Registration fee. When assembling the kit, make sure you lightly lube the rubber bands with dish washing soap or some sort of slippery liquid. Do not over do it. I will not allow any kits that have anything dripping from them. Also use all the rubber bands that come with the kit. See you Sunday.

We need a few volunteers for setup - see below.

1:30 Setup Track (I will need some help on this)
3:00 Tigers Arrive & Register
3:30 Tigers Race - Wolves Arrive & Register
4:00 Wolves Race - Bears Arrive & Register

Thanks
