Ugh, can you believe those students were able to get it done in like 6 seconds? I mean, I'm not saying they didn't have some decent ideas or whatever, but come on! That bucket brigade thing was gonna be so easy for a team of seasoned engineers like me.
And what's with the rules, though? Like, do they even make sense? "Adhere to a lengthy list of rules"? What does that even mean? Sounds like a bunch of unnecessary nonsense to me.
I'm also kinda surprised those Colorado and Massachusetts schools were invited. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's cool that they're trying to compete with the locals, but I guess you gotta give 'em some props for showing up. And that team of pro engineers? Please, like they even had a chance.
All in all, it's still pretty cool that NASA is doing this event and stuff. I mean, who doesn't love some good old-fashioned friendly competition, right?
btw, has anyone else noticed how quickly Arcadia High School's team won? Like, what was the catch there?

i mean who wouldn't want to participate in an invention challenge & show off ur skills ? 
it's awesome that they're giving kids the chance to be creative & work together towards a common goal - team spirit at its finest 
. and can u believe the winning teams only took 6-7 seconds to fill up a bucket with water ?! 
. It's awesome to see these students being given the opportunity to showcase their skills and work together as a team. The bucket brigade contest was such a fun idea, I can imagine it'd be pretty challenging to get that water from 16 feet away in just 60 seconds! 
The fact that they're including teams from different states and even pros is great, it's all about promoting innovation and creativity... reminds me of when we used to have these robot wars competitions at our school 
.
like, on one hand its super cool that students from all over the US can come together and show off their skills, but on the other hand isn't it kinda silly to have a competition where you just gotta move water in a bucket for 60 seconds? lol 
but at the same time, their winning strategy was literally just using a pulley system... 
doesn't that kinda defeat the purpose of it being an "invention challenge" or whatever?
