Hello Professor

We have a question about whether sand paper will be provided at the final. In Stage 1 Brief, sand paper is not mentioned. However, in Page Public Discussion Area > FAQ > Materials and Equipment for Models (http://www.ideers.bris.ac.uk/Discussion/messages/101/1175.html?1247772353), it said that:

What equipment will be provided for each team at the final?

On the day of the final, each team will be provided with the following equipment to help build their models:

- 2 glue guns (shown below in photo)
- 2 pairs of scissors
- 2 hacksaws (see photo below)
- 3 pencils
- Pencil sharpener
- A 1 metre ruler
- Sand paper

There is a conflict between Stage 1 Brief and FAQ. We want to make sure whether sand paper will be provided because it's a very useful tool. Thank you for your answer.

Hello Wu Xiaodong

Sandpaper will be provided.

I will check with the British Council on how many of each item of equipment will be provided. The list from the website was for a previous competition in Korea - well spotted . It is nice to know you are reading the brief properly.

Hello Professor
Could we use knife on the day of the final?
Could we take some extra hacksaws because we think the number you provided is not very enough.

Hi Liu Qianwen

You can only use the equipment provided on the day of the final and no more.

Hello Professor
Our model has too many components,could we take some templates made of wood to make our model in the final day?
 Adam Crewe posted on Tuesday, November 16, 2010 - 08:49 am
Yes you can bring any plans you want to help you make the model including templates. You just cannot use any preprepared items in your building.

Hello Professor,
I am from team 4.
I wonder what does the pencil sharpener looks like? Could we use it as a knife?
thank you!
 Adam Crewe posted on Thursday, November 18, 2010 - 10:10 am
Not sure what type you will get, but I doubt it would be useful as a knife.

Thank you, Dr. Daniell.

Here We have two other questions:
1. According to the Model Specification, we may bring photographs, drawings and other images of our designs. Does that mean we can take printed CAD drawings?
2. Can we use needles in the final as additional tools to aid our construction? We've asked this question before, the answer is "Probably OK". We just want to make sure "Yes" or "No" because they are so important.

Thanks again.
