Now, a competition dedicated to the large Automotive membership of UPES, Dehradun. FULCRUM is a 'Water-Rocket' car design and racing competition. The basic problem statement is:
"Design & build a water-rocket car from a plastic bottle, whose capacity
doesn't exceed 0.75 liters. The car must travel the maximum distance
forward with wheels always in contact with the ground with some
allowance (specified in the rules)"
