Preliminary heat A: Demolition

demolitionThe challenge: to build a machine capable of demolishing parts
of a disused power station.

Each team must build a machine capable of destroying some industrial outbuildings at a disused power station in Norwich. No explosives can be used, but battering rams, tow cables, hydraulically operated arms and so on can be. Each team can use more than one machine or approach. The winners are whoever flattens their buildings first.
