In the last semi-final, the Brothers in Arms face
the Techno Teachers in a battle to mow the competition down. Each team
will have one hour to harvest as much wheat as they can from an acre (approximately
6 tons of wheat). The team with the heaviest load of wheat, advances to
the final.
There are two basic types of mowers. The first
is the kind we're all familiar with. A blade is attached to the drive shaft
of an engine. The blade spins around, cutting the grass and dropping it
on the ground. The other kind has two sets of teeth that slide back-and-forth
over each other, cutting the grass (sort of like scissors). The things
the teams must contend with is how to cut the most hay in the time allotted
and how to collect that hay.
