SUBMISSIONS CLOSED Build-Off #3: Totally Awesome Toboggan Adventures
It may not be too cold here in Eugene, but we've been told it is actually still winter. The theme of this contest is Tim's Sled (The "Tim part" sled that he actually sticks to and rides). Try to make the coolest contraption that you can involving Tim's Sled. You can use any and as many parts as you want, but make the focus of the contraption be the sled. We suggest you look into using the Camera Animation Tool to present your entry. This is NOT A REQUIREMENT, but it would help to follow Tim if he goes on a sled adventure. You can learn how to use the Camera Animation Tool in this forum thread HERE
The 3 scoring categories are: technique, originality, and presentation.
February 9th, 2015 @ 11:00 AM PST to February 16th, 2015 @ 5:00 PM PST. Entries submitted before or after this time period will not be accepted.

How to Enter

- Do not submit something that was submitted to the Workshop before the contest date. Even if you were the creator, this is not allowed.

- One entry per user only. You can change your submission up until the completion date, but you cannot submit multiple entries.
Scoring
The 3 scoring categories are: technique, originality, and presentation.
- Technique: How technically impressive is your contraption? How much does it make the judge say, “I can’t believe they actually pulled that off.”
- Originality/Creativity: Are you using parts in a new and original way? Are you doing something nobody else has thought of?
