It's crunch time for the Oranges. They have to win the next 2 challenges to tie the series and save face. This week's challenge has the teams building a boat that will transport each teammember, one at a time, from an island to a floating dock. The first team to transport all 3 'castaways' to the home base, wins.
The Oranges will be undertaking a catamaran design. A motor will drive a propeller that will push them through the water. The propeller pulls water towards it and pushes it out the back, giving it forward movement. A catamaran is a boat with 2 pontoons and a deck connecting the two which gives the "crew" a place to stand.
The Yellows were going to make a boat and prop
but decided to keep only the boat. Their propulsion system will come from
a jet ski. A pump pulls water into a pipe and through a propeller which
flings the water out the back through an "exhaust pipe". It's a fast system
but tricky to build.
