Bryton's Victory Lap!


Bryton had the opportunity to compete in the State Engineering contest. He and his team represented his school at the state level. They had to design a car using K'Nex that had to roll down an incline while protecting its passenger (an egg). Bryton's team beat out 85 other teams and their designs. We ended up with a 3 way-tie. His car even survived the 90 degree 'freefall' run. In the end, they had to base the placings on the mass of the car -- the lightest was 0.10 grams lighter than the other two. Bryton ended up pacing third in the state of Mississippi. We are very proud of him. His team was on the front page of our local paper this morning (I stole this picture from their website).
