Team 1629 will post puzzlers from time to time during 2011 on this page. Come back and check it out periodically!
January
We are in build season, so here are a couple of build related questions adapted from an Engineering web site (engcom.net):
What name is given to a thin plate with a hole that is typically used to distribute the load of a threaded fastener , such as a screw or nut and is also often used as a spacer
Beginning with the letter "M", what name is given to a type of hammer , often made of wood or other soft material and with a relatively large head
February
We are still in build season, so here is another tool you may use on the robot:
In electrical engineering, DIP switches are designed to be used on a printed circuit board along with other electronic components and are commonly used to customize the behavior of an electronic device for specific situations. What does DIP stand for?
March
While the robot is now 'bagged and tagged', some of us are still recovering from the build. Here is a clue to something you may have used on the robot:
Which metal has a high electrical and thermal conductivity, second only to silver among pure metals at room temperature? |
