The Wild Sushi: Red Bull Flugtag Vancouver 2006

*yawn*

Just kidding – rules are important in every contest.  Plus, it gives you, the home viewer, insight into what all the teams have to consider before building.  It’s not like we just grab a hammer and go.

RULES
The flying machines must be:

1. Human powered
2. Less than 9m wide
3. Less than 200kg including the pilot

“That’s it?” you say?  Well…try building something large but light.  AND try thinking of a way to transport it.  Transportation is a HUGE issue.

JUDGING CRITERIA
Teams will be judged according to:

1. Distance
2. Creativity
3. Showmanship

“WHAT?” you say?  It’s not all about distance in a flying competition?  Nope – it’s about entertainment, baby!  Or else Team Sushi Gone Wild wouldn’t have any business trying to get a giant sushi to fly a long distance…
