19.1 SPACE TRAINING GAME
As usual, I did these on my MAC - I've reformatted them as plain text
so they can be posted. Anyone is welcome to use these - my only
request is that you let me know, and give me some feedback (both good
and bad) as to how things went. - Mike Stolz (stolz@fnusgd.fnal.gov)

19.1.1 SPACE ARCHERY
In space, everything floats. As a construction mechanic, the only way
to keep your space station parts from floating away is to rope them
together. Your problem is that YOU are anchored to the main space
station, while the new parts are slowly drifting away. So how do you
get a rope on those parts? Why with your trusty bow and arrow. Each
new part comes with its own target. Each mechanic gets 10 arrows. Hit
the target with the arrow that has a string attached, and double your
total points.
19.1.2 ROBOT ARM
You're the operator of the space shuttle's robot arm. The arm will do
everything you tell it, but it can't see or think for itself. Your
job, pick up the three space disks and return them to your position.
Use voice commands like 'forward, left, right, and down' to direct the
robot arm. Keep the tether rope tight to prevent the robot arm from
vershooting the targets. This is a timed event.
19.1.3 SPACE CONSTRUCTION
Your team of construction mechanics are on the moon. You need to build
the tallest radio tower you can, using the standard space-blocks. The
structure must be free-standing and self-supporting. DO NOT DAMAGE THE
BUILDING MATERIALS while constructing your tower!
