    Why would they not fill garbage bags with air seal it off and use it as a flotation device.

      The challenge is to build a cardboard canoe. The plastic is to keep it waterproof not to make a vessel out of it.

      ​@@Jon-iv6ghthen its not a cardboard canoe. Its a cardboard and plastic canoe, seems fair to use my materials as i see fit?

      It sounds like it'll be against the rules, but also, it's supposed to have a 1 hour build limit

      Yes, my good sir/madam, you, out of the nearly ~8800 views this short got, you were the only one who heard an obnoxiously loud "Oh yeah" from Vector, while in absence of other sounds, on a channel literally named "VectorVerses", the stars aligned to provide this possibility to you and only to you

      It would be so much more difficult to build a boat like that, than one with a flat bottom. Additionally I don’t think they were given enough materials. Also the stability is produced by the boat being deeper, not by it being angled. The angle is for aqua dynamics. I think you don’t know how a boat works lol, and you really think that you know so much more than engineering students.

    Bad engineering design. A square box design is the best option. Force is equalized on the four sides to keep it from folding.
