Obstacle Course - Day 2

Marina is concerned after a test-crawl through the rope tangle obstacle--how can we make it tougher?.

Noah and Finn work on a river that will pass under a balance beam. For extra challenge, they decided to make the river curve.

Elena, Alexandra and Alex tinker with the best way to fasten a piece with a 45-degree miter to a flat piece. They eventually settled on: pre-drill at an angle (to avoid splitting), then use an impact driver instead of a regular drill. They are building a tightrope strung between two towers.

Aidan makes a paper mache boulder.
