Snowstar update

On the Team Snowstar website, they give a progress report on how/what they are doing, along with some neat photos.  The photo of their climber on a 40 foot tether shows that, on the outside at least, they have a similar design to last year’s entry (though of course there may be changes between now and competition day).

In their latest posting (June 27th), they note:

“In addition to progress on this year’s design, on June 5 we ran the climber in a situation that allowed us to test in real-world conditions, allowing us to refine and verify our design. There are no public test days planned in the near future; however, UBC Snowstar is proud to announce that we will be holding an event on July 21 at Science World. More details will be forthcoming, with instructions on how to get there as the day comes closer.”
