Soapbox Derby Team Challenge: Build, Race, and Conquer!

About this activity

Ignite your team’s inner engineers with our exhilarating Soapbox Derby Team Challenge! This unique activity directly combines hands-on construction with thrilling, friendly competition. It’s the ultimate test of DIY engineering, collaborative problem-solving, and creative design, guaranteeing an unforgettable corporate team building experience.

Part 1: Construction Phase – Engineering Excellence

First, your teams face a clear objective: assemble a gravity-powered vehicle. We provide a diverse array of materials. These include planks, sturdy wheels, versatile PVC, and other essential components. Participants then collaborate intensely. They design and build their custom vehicles, utilizing a comprehensive set of provided tools. The expected outcome? Functional (or perhaps delightfully semi-functional) soapbox vehicles. Each uniquely reflects your team’s innovative design and problem-solving prowess. Consequently, this phase perfectly emphasizes team collaboration and creative construction.

Part 2: Racing Event – Speed, Strategy, and Glory!

Following construction, the excitement truly accelerates with the racing event. Your primary objective remains simple: race your newly constructed vehicles down a designated track. Gravity alone propels these vehicles. Teams strive to complete the course within regulation. We precisely measure vehicle stability and overall speed. To maintain fairness, we may apply penalties for any rule infractions. These include unauthorized motorized assistance or the unfortunate loss of vehicle components during the race. Ultimately, the fastest, most stable, and exceptionally well-constructed vehicle wins the challenge. This competitive segment highlights team performance and strategic execution.
