The purpose of the Crack-A-Thon competition was twofold: to build a safe that only our team could open in under two minutes, and also to utilize our knowledge of electromagnetism concepts to open the safes of all other teams within ten minutes. The safe’s only specifications were that it contain a locking mechanism, be contained within 30cm x 30cm x 30cm “box,” and have one transparent side through which the the components of the safe could be viewed. We chose to include three main “steps” in our safe design: first, principles of electricity were incorporated through a DC motor; second, principles of electronics were incorporated through a creative breadboard puzzle; and third, principles of changing magnetic fields were incorporated through a solenoid train. The Resistance’s safe was very resistant to other teams’ cracking attempts, and our creation will remain with the AP50 teaching staff as an example of elegant design.
