The JMH Mass Driven Competition 2003

Held at the Blairgowrie hall on the 30 November 2003.

 

Entrants were : Chris Els, Dave Heathcote, Anthony Els and David Laurence (USA) (proxied by David Menasce)

Judges were : Wessels Mathews and Dave Feinstein

 

The rules are simple, a one pound (453g) falling weight provides the power and must travel with the machine.

Three runs were allowed, with your best run being the one that counts.

 

Results were as follows:

4th place : Chris Els : 8 meters

3rd place : David Laurence : 16 meters

2nd place : Dave Heathcote : 23.75 meters

1st place : Anthony Els : 24 meters

 

Fun was had for all, with towers falling over, running all over the place, or like the webmaster Chris's entry, not running at all!
