Maker Raft Race 2018 edition - 28th July

#41

so like umm… how is the boat getting to the race? as it seems that hasn’t been solved yet. anyone able to step up?

#42

I’m in Hampshire, earliest I’ll be at the Space is 11

#43

@StudioNelle… Do we have a trophy?

#44

I’ll be at the space in about an hour to help out. Happy to add to the trophy, or do anything else thats useful. Does anyone need anything? Gaffer tape? Red Bull?
Also happy to lend my branded t-shirt from last year.

#45

aluminium sticky tape… 2 rolls … maybe 3. @TomHedges

#46

Like this?

Will see if the herne hill builders centre can supply on my way past

#47

Got any ratchet straps? I mean in the Space?

#48

On the way down now. We should have last year’s somewhere?

#49

I’ve grabbed a few anyway

Thought: if @StudioNelle hasn’t made the second trophy, then there must be some interesting offcuts from the raft we could meld together to make one?

#50

There in 15

#51

What were the boxes for?

#57

@platinumnqueen22 might be able to tell you

#58

Hi Will,:smiley_cat: the boxes underneath the raft were to make the front almost sit above the water line so there was less resistants to the rafts front edgev (it worked well although the motor did not go to plan but the next time we will triumph ) Keep well . Brian D=
