Spaceward Games Update - Sunday, October 21 - 5:00 PM MT

| 0 Comments

Three of the four finalists have had an opportunity to try and win the NASA sponsored Power Beaming challenge here at the Spaceward Games. However none have met the criteria to win. The Kansas City Space Pirates came the closest. UBC is done competing while the Kansas City Space Pirates had their climber severely damaged on the way down the climber aren't sure if they can continue competing but they are trying to make repairs. The Technology Tycoons are just waiting for another opportunity to try and win it all. However before they can try again the laser powered University of Saskatchewan team still has to make their first attempt. With the winds picking up the competition is on gold until around 7:00 pm when the University of Saskatchewan will get their first attempt in.

New videos have been added to our video channel including the Technology Tycoons first attempt today and a video of yesterdays tether challenge.
