The yo-yo will have to run back up a 20 meter long rope, to its maximum height and then drop down again and run up a number of times to a minimum of over 5 meters. A team of judges will measure the maximum height the yo-yo reaches on its first ascent after release from the crane and the number of times it loops up and down.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"LTR\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"LTR\">The crane will have a compartment in which the yo-yo will be placed. The compartment\u2019s floor will open and the yo-yo will be released downward. Competitors are not allowed to use an external energy source and the dynamic rope will be supplied to them by the competition organizers. Winners will receive 10,000 \u20aa, 5,000 \u20aa, and 3,000 \u20aa (1<sup>st<\/sup>, 2<sup>nd<\/sup>\u00a0and 3<sup>rd<\/sup>\u00a0places, respectively).<\/div>\n<div dir=\"LTR\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"LTR\">The \u201cTechnbrain\u201d competition is held at the Technion in memory of Neev-Ya Durban, who first envisioned and thereafter established the competition, and was a student and outstanding Technion graduate. Neev-Ya was an officer in the IDF when he was murdered during a mugging on a quiet street in Tel Aviv in March 2003. The competition and the prizes are funded by Dr. Robert Shillman (who everyone knows as \u201cDr. Bob\u201d), who did his graduate work at the Technion.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"RTL\">\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><span style=\"-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 3px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 3px; border-collapse: separate; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: xx-small; font-weight: normal;\"><span style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><a style=\"color: #a3239e; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/goog_1243445234\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"-webkit-box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0976563) 1px 1px 5px; background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; border-color: #eeeeee; border-width: 1px; box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.0976563) 1px 1px 5px; position: relative; border-style: solid; padding: 5px;\" src=\"http:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-K0iLEMlU4cw\/TcfMcFky5LI\/AAAAAAAAAu0\/eg4Y-WWgbWI\/s200\/Technion+live+web+2+icon.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"49\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 3px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 3px; border-collapse: separate; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: xx-small; font-weight: normal;\"><a style=\"color: #a3239e; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/goog_1243445234\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 3px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 3px; border-collapse: separate; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: xx-small; font-weight: normal;\"><a style=\"color: #a3239e; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/pard.technion.ac.il\/TechnionLive\">Read and subscribe to the latest edition of Technion Live.<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Technion \u201cTechnobrain\u201d Competition Opens\u00a0 The world\u2019s longest yo-yo will be released from a 30 m high crane As part of Technion\u2019s traditional \u201cTechnbrain\u201d competition, students will compete against each other by releasing the world\u2019s longest yo-yo from a 30 meter high crane.
