Vie de la Resistance

Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers (IEEE)

Contestants will be timed while ranking 10 resistors based on the resistor color code value.

RULES:

1.   Six students break into 3 pairs and sit at 3 tables.

2.       Each student puts both hands on a photo switching circuit to indicate they’re ready.

3.       They take their hands off the switch; lift a box that has 10 resistors under it.

4.       Students begin sorting from left to right: Least Ohmic to Greatest Ohmic value.

5.       Once the student feels they have the correct arrangement, they put both their hands back on the photo switch.

6.       A maximum of 9 minutes will be allowed per contestant.

7.       Students will be scored based on time values.  Fastest time wins.

Lifting your hands starts a timer, putting your hands back down stops the timer…this will indicate the amount of time each it took each student to complete the task. If for some reason there is a tie; the finalists will enter “Making the Cut”

1.       A box of straight wire will be presented.

2.       Use snipping pliers to cut the insulation off each edge to .5 inch (+/- .125 inch)

3.       Three minutes will be allotted for the competition.

4.       The person with the most wires cut to specification wins.
