Laser Obstacle Course
Einstein's Nobel Prize was presented for his work with the photoelectric effect. The laser systems used in this challenge were originally designed with knowledge based on Einstein's famous paper.
Lasers similar to those used in rock concerts were projected over, through, and around a series of obstacles, using front-surface mirrors positioned by finalists, demonstrating the notion that the angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection. If time allowed, finalists were challenged to send a modulated video signal through the obstacle course.
Judges evaluated the processes each team employed to set up the obstacles, how they predicted the positioning of the mirrors, the difficulty of each course, and the relative amount of light able to transmit through each course.
