"Polytechnic University"
(15th place overall; 21st in paper; 9th in presentation; 22nd in product)

Presentation:

One male team member dressed in formal attire delivered the presentation.

The team ran into some projection problems early in the game.  But they recovered nicely and proceeded with the presentation.

They explained the methods, assumptions, and tools used to analyze the design.  They discussed the concrete design and reinforcing materials.  After detailing critical parameters, the team outlined their management strategy.

The judges began by saying that you had five people working on the project.  How many would you have liked to have had?

What is flexibility, why is it important, and how is it measured?  Did you use any safety factor while designing your hull?

How did you determine the moment at the floor to wall junction?

The team was asked to comment on some of the steps used to perform and improve their mix design.  Why was the reinforcement soaked in salt water?  How would you reorganize the tasks so that you could produce a better product?
