Your challenge is to build a machine in 24 hours (or less) that can fling the tastiest foodstuff the longest distance with the most style. Teams can bring in any supplies they want (up to $200 worth-- We will be asking for receipts at the door!), but you can't put anything together until the start of the competition. From then on out, it's a free-for-all to build your contraption using the supplies you've brought in alongside the supplies at the LVL1 hackerspace.
At the end of the competition, teams will judge each other in the following categories:
Taste: How delicious is it, after being flung?
Distance: How far did you fling it?
Ingenuity: How well-built was your flinger? How crazy?
Appearance: Is your food recognizable on the other end?
Scores in each category will be averaged, and the top three teams will receive their assorted glory.
The rules:
$200 budget, not counting parts from the boneyard at LVL1
Must be built in 24 hours (nothing preassembled!)
Team size is unlimited (in either direction), but 3-6 is recommended
