Boat Race

To finish off the unit, we had boat races with our biodiesel. Most of our fuel decayed, so we all used the same fuel. So it pretty much came down to who had the fastest boat.

My team's original boat, USS Buttstuff, wasn't a very big success. It was build out of duct tape and an empty milk carton. It wasn't sealed properly with tape and the design wasn't aerodynamic.

Our second boat, USS Buttstuff 2.0, was a success. We used an empty can with a hole on the top and a red solo cup nose. It got a final time of 14.9 seconds which got us in 4th place.

I was hoping for better, but it was a decent run.

  1. Yes the USS Buttstuff 2.0 was very good. Very simple designs were the winning designs it seems.

  2. Hated the name but loved that we ended up in 4th. We surprisingly made good progress and our boat ran great.
