Flying Bird

Flying Bird was a trial event for both divisions at the 2011 National Tournament. The top three overall teams in this event were awarded medals. It is an aviation event in which competitors build an ornithological flying device (i. e. a device which flies by the flapping of wings; hence the name "Flying Bird"), called a "ornithopter". Due to the difficulty of this event, it is unlikely that it will become a full event in the near future.
