Once the designs were completed, they were tested in Alumni Pool in four categories: distance, speed, buoyancy, and looks. All the boats did well in the water despite a few drive failures and sinkings. The winning team consisting of Derek Bond, Nathan Gronda, Eric Wilhelm, and Siu Ng took home a $200 check courtesy of Lockheed-Martin for their boat which did well in all categories.
The other participants were Gregory Murphy, Leanne Stackpole, Stefan Caporale, Aimee Murawski, Matt Connors, Matt Stone, Josh Brotherton, Mike Shear, Gabe Flores, Mike Morano, Joe Markiewicz, Thomas Parent, Patrick Sharkey, Keisuke Watanabe, Christopher Capalbo, Ravi Chauhan, Jordan Massad, John Toscano, John Markow, Jim Strickland, Dave Bowler, Seth Kintigh, and Erick Thiemke.
