Chain Reaction Machines Overview:Build-It-Yourself is looking for some hot shot engineers to build a CDC “Candy Delivery Contraption.” This is an important mission. A world without candy would be a very dull place! You can earn a ton of money and get a monumental belly-ache from all the candy you can eat! Join our team! |

The Problem:There are a ton of big messes that the next generation of builders must fix. Wicked wars, dasterdly diseases, evolution of polution, economic melt-downs and not enough candy. It will take great teamwork to fix these messes. |

The Mission:Build a Chain Reaction Contraption that demonstrates teamwork to do something really important. At the end of the chain reaction, the contraption must display a joke or make music or squirt water or throw candy or do something really important. Research Videos:Japanese Chain Reaction Machines |
