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. 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.<\/p>\n

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 (1st<\/sup>, 2nd<\/sup> and 3rd<\/sup> places, respectively).<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n
