National Earthquake Competition 2014 [NUS High]

A video-cum-montage of the National Earthquake Competition 2014, Singapore, dedicated to Team NUS High of 2013-2014.

Structures built using MDF timber strips and hot glue by participating teams are tested for structural strength and resistance to earthquakes by means of a physical simulation. The changes made from last year include the addition of a fifth floor, and 4 additional 400g weights to be attached to the structure. Acceleration increases by 100 gal (0.1 g) per round, and points are calculated via an efficiency ratio of the maximum acceleration withstood divided by the total weight (which includes penalty weights, if any).

This is my team's final chance in participating in this competition; the age limit will render us ineligible next year. As such this video serves as a memoir for the wonderful journey that we have had the privilege to enjoy.
