In the<br \/>\ncompetition\u2019s finale, all contraptions are connected to each other to form a long chain transporting<br \/>\nsteel balls. In brief, they are all evaluated for qualities such as: creativity and advance in<br \/>\ntheoretical background, as well as the reliability of the constructed machine to work without human<br \/>\nhelp. In this article, we present the contraptions developed by students taking part in the<br \/>\ncompetition in order to demonstrate the advance in theoretical basis together with creativity in<br \/>\ndesign and outstanding engineering skills of its participants.
