Each roll represents a human encounter. For example, a Yellow zombie has a 1/3 chance of turning a human, a 1/3 chance of the human escaping, and a 1/3 chance of the human injuring the zombie.

Focus on a wide base to distribute weight. Use materials that provide high surface area to maximize buoyancy. 2. The Zip Line Challenge (The "VIP" Transport)

For advanced teams, a collapsible ramp must reach two bricks high and support 5 pounds without the weight sliding back down. The "Zombie" Probability Model Raft.zip

This guide covers the core engineering requirements for the "Raft" and "Zip Line" components of the survival challenge.

Beyond survivors, the raft is more successful if it can carry additional "supplies" (weights). A high-scoring raft remains buoyant and stable under load. Each roll represents a human encounter

It must transport one VIP egg safely to the ground; extra credit is often awarded for transporting two eggs or additional weight simultaneously.

Most zombies are "decommissioned" after three major injuries . Explore STEM & Storytelling in a Zombie Apocalypse Lesson Use materials that provide high surface area to

Tension is key. If the line is too slack, the VIP will stall; if it is too steep, the impact at the bottom may be fatal for the egg. 3. Complementary Structures
