Each team has a blue print of one section of a giant roller coaster the aim being to construct their own piece, which will then be linked to the next and so on to form the roller coaster. With various transitions and differing complexities this challenge has something for everyone. Will the teams be successful and make the structure so that the basketballs travel the entire length without falling off! Will the end mechanism work to release the helium filled balloons? This challenge can be run for small groups or very large groups with up to 16 sections although the standard is usually between 6 to 9 pieces. |
