00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:03,379
hey ladies and gentlemen welcome to JPL

2
00:00:09,650 --> 00:00:07,410
of the 13th annual winter ago when the

3
00:00:12,140 --> 00:00:09,660
invention challenge first started 14

4
00:00:15,860 --> 00:00:12,150
years ago it was just a competition of

5
00:00:17,570 --> 00:00:15,870
engineering creativity JP ehlers now

6
00:00:20,179 --> 00:00:17,580
local middle schools and high schools

7
00:00:23,330 --> 00:00:20,189
have joined the contest and the student

8
00:00:25,279 --> 00:00:23,340
teams outnumbered JPL teams three two

9
00:00:27,650 --> 00:00:25,289
one the invention challenge this year

10
00:00:31,269 --> 00:00:27,660
was to build a machine that could kick a

11
00:00:34,700 --> 00:00:31,279
football over a barrier and into a can

12
00:00:37,580 --> 00:00:34,710
simple we'll see how simple it is each

13
00:00:40,940 --> 00:00:37,590
team got three tries in a minute to kick

14
00:00:44,090 --> 00:00:40,950
a football into the trash can if it made

15
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:44,100
it the tree got 50 points 30 points if

16
00:00:49,790 --> 00:00:46,890
they hit the rim 25 if it hit the side

17
00:00:55,369 --> 00:00:49,800
and 10 points if it bounced inside the

18
00:01:03,080 --> 00:00:55,379
circle around the can is ready timers

19
00:01:05,119 --> 00:01:03,090
ready three two one go you're the first

20
00:01:07,789 --> 00:01:05,129
JPL team up were a little nervous and it

21
00:01:09,830 --> 00:01:07,799
went in three times in a row the high

22
00:01:11,539 --> 00:01:09,840
school kids I think there's about four

23
00:01:12,830 --> 00:01:11,549
on the board right now that have gone 3

24
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:12,840
for 3 I hope we don't have to compete

25
00:01:17,450 --> 00:01:15,090
against them because their machines are

26
00:01:20,660 --> 00:01:17,460
way better than ours the student team

27
00:01:28,070 --> 00:01:20,670
competition ended in double overtime and

28
00:01:32,060 --> 00:01:28,080
to sudden death kickoffs Culver City

29
00:01:33,980 --> 00:01:32,070
High one with a rim shot what little

30
00:01:36,649 --> 00:01:33,990
lessons are you to take the keys simple

31
00:01:41,330 --> 00:01:36,659
is always better oh yeah duct tape don't

32
00:01:43,490 --> 00:01:41,340
take over the best today we face a lot

33
00:01:45,590 --> 00:01:43,500
of challenges some of the stuff on our

34
00:01:47,359 --> 00:01:45,600
project broke like the laser level it's

35
00:01:49,250 --> 00:01:47,369
supposed to use so we had to just adapt

36
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:49,260
and try to play through it

37
00:01:54,620 --> 00:01:51,690
I think what we're trying to show is

38
00:01:57,020 --> 00:01:54,630
that engineering can be fun and we hope

39
00:01:59,510 --> 00:01:57,030
that the students that like this kind of
