Chance! This Friday, October
30th, the OSU chapter of ASME will hold its third, almost-annual
Pumpkin
Chunkin’ Event. Everyone is invited to
participate in this age-old mechanical engineering tradition!!! What: The idea is to construct a device
that can send a pumpkin hurtling toward a target some 50 yards away. The closer
to the target your pumpkins lands or smashes, the more points you get. First-,
second-, and third-place prizes will be awarded. Where: Madison Field (east of 11th
St. between Madison and Monroe) When: 2 pm until the final pumpkin launch.
*If possible, please arrive at the field between 1 and 2 pm for registration
and device inspection.* Device Requirements:
If you plan to enter the competition, feel free to contact
ASME chair Matt Chiasson with any
questions and to help him get an approximate contestant head count. Naturally, spectators and cheering squads are also encouraged
to attend the ASME Pumpkin Chunkin’ extravaganza. Remember: 2 pm,
Friday Oct. 30th, Madison Field. Start working on your
contraptions now, and see you on at the end of the week! MIME Faculty And Grad
