The day started out under the clouds with a bit of rain during the set-up time, but by 11:30 the sun was out and the weather was perfect. I was pleased to see the fantastic turnout for this exciting event. We had 24 student teams and 6 JPL teams show their answer to the set of rules (a hotlink here would be good) that were posted back in August. The variety of solutions proved to be most entertaining to the 300 or so onlookers at this year's JPL Invention Challenge. A list of results is shown below.
