Rocket Propelled Popsicle Stick Sled Competition!



DECEMBER: Rocket-Powered Popsicle Sled Competition
This snowy December, the men were once again confronted with a box of popsicle sticks and a glue gun...   What to do?  Add a stick of TNT in the mix and you have a ROCKET PROPELLED Popsicle Stick Sled Building Competition.  The weather was just right, the little bit of rain froze on top of the 3 feet of snow to form a perfect surface for our rocket strapped creations!

EVENT DESCRIPTION:
- 2 hours to build a sled
- 1 box of Popsicle sticks 
- 1 glue gun. 

After the build, each man is given 3x C6 rockets to launch rockets across a snowy field. Sleds are ranked based on distance. The winner is determined by combining the rankings of all three launches. Minor adjustments can be made in between launches.
