When the students enter the room, they'll find that it has been turned into a scrap yard again. A standard metal workshop is available as well.

"Today we'll be making a human powered vehicle based on what you find here in the junk yard."

The Rules:
Vehicle must be able to hold four people
Must be able to turn and run on a racing track.
No engines
No welding bicycles together, though bike parts can be used.
Must be safe (Mac will judge)
Helmets must be worn while operating the vehicle.

"Get Started!"

"They'd have to be pretty big ones..." he gestured expansively, "other'n that, I don't really have any specifics in mind."

"Okay," Sam called, already beginning to climb through the scrap yard.

She began pulling wheels and axles out of piles where she found them, making a separate pile. A few that looked particularly good or, she put in a separate pile. Bridge could pick his favorites.

She also made a small pile of chair casters, thinking that they might use those instead, if they were trying to keep the weight down.

Then, remembering Mac's caveat, she also began looking for lap seat belts. They could attach them somehow.

"Poles. We need some way to attach the poles to the raft."

(ooc: NP. Will be AFK between 5:30 and 6:30 EST anyway.)

Bridge stares thoughtfully at the wheel pile before picking four that are all the same size.

And as for the poles, "we could weld them to the oar locks?" he suggests.

"Sounds good," she replied, nodding with approval at the wheels. "Want to play with the welder, or do you want me to do it?"

Bridge absolutely does not clap his hands together and go "oooh, fire!". He thinks about it, but instead opts for a simple: "I'll do it!"

Sam grinned, completely understanding the urge. There'll be other opportunities, though. "It's all yours."
