Mission Possible is a Rube Goldberg Device
A Racketball is used to set off a series of transfers between simple machines with final goal to ring a bell.
Start Tasktransfers
between simple machines
Final Task
Points Timing – Device runs a maximum of 180 s (3 min) but an ideal time of 60s. Make a good timer! Electricity can not be used to optimize timing.
Dimensions: max 60cmx60cmx60cm
Turn in TSL, set up within 30 min timeframe
Machine Transfer Points +25 pts
To earn points all transfers must be listed in the Transfer Sequence List, TSL
All transfers must be unique and transfer between 2 different simple machines
Each simple machine can only initiate a transfer three times. ~18 possibilities.
Transfer Sequence List
TSL
Must be uploaded or emailed to RMSC by Sunday March 13, 5pm
Must have each transfer that contributes to the operation of the device.
Must have scorable tasks numbered in order corresponding to numbers on the device
Reminders
Make sure you can explain the device
Bring extra copies of your TSL
Bring a repair kit/leveling shims
All actions must be contained within the box at all times

Competition
● 3 minutes maximum to get items into goal cartons
● Goal cartons can be moved outside competition area
● Each item has a specific value and area● Tiered scoring
Protein Modeling
Team of 3- impound prebuilt structure
We have kits to build that structure with us today.
1 Amino acid every 2cm
Students will build a protein at the tournament and take a test
Prebuildhttp://cbm.msoe.edu/scienceOlympiad/designEnvironment/prebuild.html
Prebuild environmentrestrict 93-261 and chain=A spacefill off
backbone 0.9
Look at protein structure
wireframe off
color structure
1sep.pdb site: look at sequence
Wind PowerBuild non-metallic blades onto a CD. Modification of CD is not allowed. Impound the blade assembly in a labeled box.
Test at the assembly at 2 speeds at separate stations and also take a written test.
Bottle Rockets
No Impound, Bottles should be < 2L. Save labels on bottles. No recovery system.
We are only doing 1 launch per team.
This will eliminate Tier 1 scoring.
We will try and have an alternative launch if scored launch is cancelled due to weather.
Food Science
Teams impound items for experiment
Teams should upload 9 experiment logs (3 for each experiment) by Sunday March 13 at 5 pm. Use Food science experiment form available at soinc.org
Food Science
Choice of 3 experiments
● make butter● make curds● make ice cream
A written test on dairy food science
Elastic Launched Glider - B
Elastic Launched Glider
No practice on tournament day at Region 12
Air Trajectory
-B and C
Air Trajectory - What’s different
- The falling mass itself does not propel the projectile. It must move air to push the ball.
- Target may be just a small X on the floor.- HIGH score wins- -Near target centered. Far target off
center- -Competitors cannot be within 75 cm
