Task 3 - Technology!
Isn’t technology great? It’s improved our lives in a lot of ways, and it seems like there’s always more coming out. Technology in dreams can get even crazier. After all, anything is possible. This week, we’re going to explore the world of dream technology. And while it’s easy to think of technology as meaning electronics, technology has been around for centuries. In fact, some technology lets us see the centuries.
Also, you’ll notice now that team tasks are now worth more in general. No more freebies, you’ll have to really work for these.
Use an electronic device (smart phone, computer, etc.) 20pts
Use an outdated piece of technology (steam powered, water powered, etc.) 20pts: to be clear, the power source doesn’t matter. It just needs to be something that is now obsolete and not in common use. So yes, an abacus counts. But a TI-83 does not. Don’t blame me, blame TI for never updating anything.
Use a 3D printer to make something 30pts: I don’t care how you make the printer work or if it’s actually a real-life model, just make it happen.
Build your very own robot out of whatever is laying around 40pts: it could be made out of anything, so long as it can move and do things on its own.
Ask a computer the answer to life, the universe, and everything 30pts: ok, it doesn’t have to be a computer. Just some kind of sentient technology works.
Go into the internet 40pts: exploring cyberspace is the easy part. Getting in is tricky. I’ll suggest going in through a computer monitor.
Turn a DC into a robot 30pts: this should be obvious, but turning a DC into a robot does not count as building one for the creation task.
Use technology in a way it’s not intended 40pts: cook some food in the refrigerator, mow the lawn with your TV, sit down and relax while watching the World Cup on the radio. I dunno. Surprise me.
Task 3 Team Tasks
Creation: your team is going to make an invention this round. It’s up to you to decide what your invention is supposed to do. You don’t need to all use the same components, but all of your inventions should have the same function. Remember to get one of your team mates to help build it!
Investigation: it’s time for time! It’s Rhewin, you know that I have to do some kind of time travel. Pick what time period you’d like to go to, and, with a team member, check out some of the technology of the time. Getting to the time period is the important part, it’s ok if the tech isn’t exactly historically accurate. This is especially true if you pick the future.
Transformation: upgrade time. You’re going to give yourself and a team mate cybernetic enhancements. Your team needs to pick out what enhancement you want. Then, in a dream, give yourself and a team member the enhancement. You only need to decide what the enhancement does, you can figure out the how in your dream.

Transformation Team! You have won the advantage for Task 3! This week you can create your own task as long as it involves transformation and is based on this phrase: Giant Robots.
You have 48 hours to create the task or I’ll make one for you. Transformation can include a lot of things. You can change yourself, DCs, the environment, whatever. Think creatively… or… transformationaly.
