Will be following with interest!! View Quote Thank you. I browsed through there looking for details, but that's a good page to save to have for kids to do some research. |

27 feet. Robotics class involvement. You dont by chance have a 28 foot swimming pool for sea trials before display? I bet you could get a volunteer off the swim team to test pilot it.
What happens to these awesome projects when you run out of display space? Do they get saved our have to go in the trash? |

I think Iv'e got enough room left for displays for the years I have left.....I hope. One project that we didn't really have a place for, was a decorated fish sculpture. It was a contest. We only got 3rd., but still got $2500 in winnings. That sculpture was on display in Jackson for a year, then when it was time to come home, I sold it for another $1000. It had too many sharp edges to be openly displayed.....or at least that's what I told myself. Luckily, I know the owner, and still get to go see it. |

Is it just going to be a shell ? Or maybe a cut-away type that allows you to see some of the innards |

Need to find some old German sailor that served on U-Boats to come to the dedication/unveiling.

Here is a historically significant vessel that has easier lines. http://www.navsource.org/archives/08/0859805.jpg The U.S.S. George Washington . View Quote I appreciate your concerns and suggestions. I think I've got the structural integrity covered. We will see. As for the details, that is what makes something like this fun. Too few details just ends up being boring. The overall shape will be the real bitch, but if we can get some good cross-section pictures, I think we can do this justice. It will not be perfect, but it should look pretty cool. I'm not sure I can find a PG version of Das Boot, but I'd love to have the students watch it at the end. |

With the STEM push, I think it's odd that the math dept doesn't want to assist, but that's basic math. Having them calculate torque vectors for optimal structural member size might be a bit above the students heads.
