Ping Pong Parachute

What this event is about

An engineering build where a parachute descends with a ping pong ball payload. Exact scoring (time, accuracy, bonuses) comes from the 2027 rules.

Study plan

1. Read chute size, mass, and drop height limits carefully.
2. Test canopy shapes and spill holes for stable descent.
3. Practice packing/deployment consistency.
4. Record drop times across trials.

Tips

Stable slow descent usually beats a huge canopy that collapses.
