The Amazing Lab Race (16th July)
NUS-MOE Amazing Lab Race is an annual event held jointly by the Faculty of Engineering (FoE) and MoE, meant to publicize FoE to the youths of singapore during their secondary school days. The Event involves having each secondary school from all over singapore to form a team of 5 (some schools actually requested permission and have sent two teams, and even some JCs have requested to join in as well) to participate in a game of finding the Labs in FoE and complete assigned challenges and games while staying ahead of the race to be the ULTIMATE CHAMPION.
Annually, the Engin Rag Team will also be involved, taking charge of one of the game stations setup for the event. This year, the theme is "LOST" with the challenge being that the students have to build a short table from the materials given in the room.
The Video Made for the Lab Race Game Station. Do watch out for the comedic part at the back. =p The actual timing and quality was better, the errors in timing at the back you see now is due to compression in size. Hope you guys like the video though, quite alot of effort was spent in making this video as I wasnt familiar with video editing and the collection of raw clips was quite alot of work too.

This is the quarantine room where students can watch the video and are held back in the room if all the stations was full.

A creative triangular table. =)

The V-Table by VJC. Haha. Good effort.

The Catapult!!


The zig zag based table. Very good design I should say.

The Raft. Why build a table when you can escape from the Island. Haha.. Very innovative.


Before the event, we had a dry-run to see if the game was indeed playable within the set time and rules.

There you have it. Our model answer.

And the winner is..... RAG TEAM!!!

Nope, just kidding. Raffles Institude is the ultimate winner for the event this year. A big congratulations to you guys!! You have done your school proud.

For the rest of us, there's always the Olympics Cup. =D
PS: There was alot more schools that participated in the event. I've only uploaded the selected few that was more interesting.
