Parts that are not 3D-printed may be used when necessary (for example: water sseals, mechanical parts).For the General DIY Boat Race, all boats must be homemade, but there is no restriction on materials used. This race allows boats using laser-cut components, 3D-printed components, plastic, foam, wood, and more.Teams will compete to transport “cargo” (foam containers with metal plates) from the beach to designated “crane operators”, who will be receiving the cargo on the pier using fishing rods equipped with red magnetic hooks. Each cargo container picked up by a crane constitutes one point for that boat’s team, and the boat with the most points is the winner.Size LimitBoats in all races must fit within a 2’x2’x2’ box.ElectronicsElectronics kits will be provided by Pioneer Works and include:6 Channel Receiver/transmitter pairMotor and propeller system2S LiPo BatterySpeed ControllerSteering ServoDeck plate for access to electronicsRubber TubingTeams may replace or upgrade any elements of this kit if they wish.
