Our Co-Captains:What the team has said about the experience:three lists that we started after the competition documenting our favorite memories and what we'll change for the next time around.Chris was one of the people most responsible for making sure we got to the competition. He contacted sponsors and suppliers, interacted with the department, and organized most of the work that took place. He was responsible for concrete mix design, wrote the design paper and put together the display poster.
Molly designed the hull of the canoe, since this is the first time in twenty years that Princeton has designed a concrete canoe she was working from scratch. In the process she has become an involuntary expert on using SAP to analysis shells.
