Design Rules and Challenge Components 2011 – “ Tunnel Hulls ”
E N D
Design Rules and Challenge Components 2011 – “ Tunnel Hulls ” • The Gold Coast Digital Manufacturing Marine Challenge had run now for the past two years with outstanding success. Participating schools found it challenging, however the commitment of teachers and students to the new frontiers of digital manufacture blended into their classrooms with amazing results. The RC model boats designed from these endeavours where truly production quality to the finest details. The benchmark has been set very high in the previous years. • The Rules and Regulations are designed to enable the teams to compete on a reasonably level playing field, whilst encouraging technical innovation, without too much restriction. • Challenge Overview • Year 10 and 11 students from Gold Coast Schools will design four (4) RC model speed boats per school using 3D CAD. These designs will be prototyped, analysed and tested then digitally manufactured with the assistance of Industry partners. • Challenge schools • -All Saints Anglican College -Helensvale SHS -King’s Christian College • -Nerang SHS -St Michaels Anglican College -Southport SHS • No kits are allowed. • This would be in direct conflict with the spirit and aims of the challenge. • The organisers will be happy to give their interpretation of any aspect of the rules during the building phase as well as on Race Day, in order to reflect the spirit of the challenge. • Design • Schools must design the Hull, Deck and Mounting systems using 3D CAD Software. • Vessel must be of “Tunnel hull” and “Mono deck”construction. • No foils or under-hull appendages. • A full Design Folio for each race boat entered must be supplied. • Presentation • School teams must prepare a full audio\visual presentation outlining the stages from the conceptual 3D design to the final competitive boat\s. • This presentation will be displayed on an event organised 17” laptop for each school at the race venue. • Banners, charts and display photos will add to the professionalism of your schools involvement at the event. • School presentation material will need to reflect both your schools and the various industry partners’ information that have been involved with this event. • Student Cohort • Scrutinising • Craft will be scrutinised prior to and on Race Day to ensure they are ‘in the spirit’ of fair competition and the following guidelines have been followed:
Attention: Plug models that exceed the max or min sizes will not be CNC machined.
