RowBoatics is an inter-high school machine competition which challenges the students to design and build a rubber band-powered watercraft. The event is hosted by the UP Gears and Pinions, a mechanical engineering organization in celebration of their 57th year.
Each team was given only 2 hours to produce a watercraft. The organizer provided them with 4 rubber bands, a ruler, a pair of scissors, masking tape, 10 drinking straws, a long folder, a plastic folder, a marker, 2-feet of steel wire, 10 barbeque sticks, cutter, glue gun with 4 glue sticks, 2 pencils, and Styrofoam.
Aenlle, Amante, and Prudencio were declared champions after scoring 94% with their time of 1.94 seconds. Another UPIS team composed of Karmela Mae Gabriel from 9-Xenon, Joshua Caesar Lorenzo of 9-Argon, and Luis Fernando Raynon Jr. of 9-Neon placed 7th. ● by Arielle Gabriel, Benjo Hernandez, and Eric Madriaga
