Have you ever considered appearing
on the television programme
‘Krypton Factor’?
Do you wish that you could
get on that assault course and
show everybody what you are
made of?
Well, now you have your chance
– come with us and we
will have you building rafts,
running over tyres, throwing
yourself over team mates, making
that tight rope walk six foot
above the ground with only a
piece of twinning to hold on
to.
Below is just a brief snaphot
of some tried and tested tasks
Nuclear Disposal
Using items provided, the team
task is to place a canister
containing a highly unstable
material into a metal box and
transport it across and through
various obstacles to a de-toxification
point without personally touching
either box or canister.
The team has to place the canister
into a receptacle, which is
placed inside an exclusion zone.
To ensure safety procedures
are observed when carrying dangerous
materials, all team members
are joined together at the wrists.
Blindfold tent building
Your objective is to erect
the large Army tent, for the
whole team to get inside it
and ring the fire bell loud
and clear, and then to dismantle
the tent, fold it and bag it,
but only one team member can
see. Points are awarded accordingly
3D Spiders web
Firstly the team must successfully
negotiate the giant spiders
web, getting all team members
through without using any section
more than once.
Then the difficult part, they
have to put together the giant
interconnecting log pile –
there are bound to be major
discussions about this !!
Get the picture
Communication and observation
are the key skills in this game.
The teams nominated managers
have to describe to the workers
how to rebuild a dismantled
modern sculpture.
The managers have the pictures
but cannot leave their seats
and the workers may not see
the pictures. Teams are scored
on speed and accuracy.
The Great Egg Launch
Each team will have 20 minutes
to design and construct two
types of boulder launcher, capable
of firing boulders as far as
possible. The boulders are in
fact eggs, hard boiled for the
construction and practice sessions
and delicately normal for the
competition distance throw.
There is a varied selection
of equipment to use and endless
solutions to the puzzle.
A potentially sticky challenge
with eggs often going straight
up, backwards or even exploding
in mid air !!
Finalle
We bring back all the teams
at the end to simultaneously
stage a grand “boulder
Launch” with marks going
to the best contraption and
furthest throw
