PWD Date?

[CM250]

Our pack here in Fort Mill, SC, will have our Pinewood Derby on Saturday, January 26th, 2002. The nationally recommended theme for January is "Did You Get My Message?"

 

I am looking for a pack(s) that are having their Pinewood Derby on January 26th to try and set-up a email/webcam communication that the boys can exchange during the race.

 

Please don't ask me any technical questions yet. I'm just looking for a pack(s) to try to partner with on this date.

 

Thanx.

Interesting Idea...

 

We are also hosting our Pinewood on the 26th here in Poplarville, MS. I will check with my ACM ( thank goodness he's an engineer!!)and maybe we can hook up.

 

Also, never heard of tin can method for bracketing, my engineer has rigged up our track to his computer and his EXCEL spreadsheet cycles the boys through the 3 diff lanes - it even converts it to MPH & displays on tv screen.

 

I do know we have to use 1-2 dummy cars to load balance the lanes at times ( keep them at 3oz or less to ensure they do not win...)

 

good Luck

We are having ours on that date as well. I would be interested in learning more about this. Could you post some more information. thanks,

I just found out that we should be able to accomplish(?) this feat.

Am going to try to recruit the High School IT department/Club for assistance...

 

Send me and my Techie Den Leader an email so we can get further details...

Wish we could.... but we don't have the technology available right now. Maybe we can coordinate next years events as they come up. Thanks for the invite !
