		<description><![CDATA[Build the Pinewood Derby® Legend: The Flying Wedge   The instructions given on this webpage are intended to convey general information about building the car.  Guards have been removed from equipment in many illustrations for clarity.   Always read and follow manufacturer’s instructions for specific equipment.  Under no circumstances should minors operate a band saw or router. This site recommends the use of lead as a weight.  Know and understand the risks associated with lead before deciding to use it in your design.  Keep lead away from children and never sand or grind it.  Do not use a car containing lead as a toy.  Wash your hands thoroughly after touching lead. See http://www.epa.gov/lead/ for more information about lead and lead poisoning. While the design on this page has a proven track record as a top contender, there is no guarantee that you will win.  Please encourage your child to understand the importance of doing your best rather than winning. “Build the Pinewood Derby® Legend: The Flying Wedge” IS NOT AN OFFICIAL PUBLICATION OF THE BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA.  THIS PRODUCT IS NOT ENDORSED OR SPONSORED BY THE BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA.   BSA, Pinewood Derby and Cub Scouts ARE REGISTERED TRADEMARKS OF THE [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Adam from raisinggeeks.com (a great site to check out) designed and built a completely awesome photo finish instant reply as part of his inventing merit badge.  A big thanks to Adam and his dad for putting this on YouTube and their killer blog. Designed and built as part of Adam&#8217;s Inventing Merit Badge project Uploaded to YouTube by iancole http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVOo27f25jU Retrieved Thursday 2nd February 2012 9:53 am EST From YouTube: Designed and built as part of Adam&#8217;s Inventing Merit Badge project Problem: &#8220;Parents have trouble seeing the finish line because Cub Scouts are sitting around it and blocking the view&#8221; He decided to build a camera system (with slow motion replay) that could be projected onto the wall, acting like a &#8220;JumboTron&#8221; at sporting events. This system was not used for judging or scoring, only for keeping the crowd excited at the event.
