The Sprial Double Helix:
The DNA ladder used in the EPIK DNA challenge is specifically designed to resemble the structure of a DNA chain, with its twisted and spiraled appearance. The double helix structure of DNA is a fundamental component of all living organisms and carries the genetic information necessary for their development and functioning.
In the EPIK DNA ladder, the twisted shape of the ladder's stiles closely mirrors the spiral structure of DNA. This not only provides an aesthetically pleasing experience but also serves as a symbolic representation of the importance of DNA in biology and genetics. It highlights the significance of genetic information and the fundamental role it plays in the development and functioning of living organisms.
◕ Mezmerising Beauty in Motion
As participants progress through the challenge, the ladder gradually spins, mimicking the twisting motion of a DNA double helix. This spinning motion adds an extra layer of difficulty and requires participants to maintain precise timing and control. It also enhances the visual appeal of the challenge, creating a mesmerizing effect reminiscent of the intricate structure of DNA.
◕ Choose Your Way to Spin the Helix
Swinging from rung to rung requires precise timing, control, and coordination. Participants must grab the center of each rung to prevent the ladder from spinning out of control. As they progress, the ladder will slowly spin, creating a visually captivating experience reminiscent of the double helix structure of DNA.
Alternatively, participants can crawl on the ladder using both hands and feet, facing upwards. This method requires more core and leg strength but reduces the ladder's tendency to spin. Safety precautions are taken, such as providing cushions on the ground or building the structure above a water pool.
Regardless of the chosen method, participants need to maintain focus and balance to reach the other side and ring the cowbell, signifying the completion of the challenge."
◕ Portable Convenience and Easy Setup
The EPIK DNA ladder is designed with convenience in mind. Unlike traditional ladders that are welded together and difficult to transport, this ladder can be disassembled into nine single rungs and two spiral stiles. This feature allows event organizers to easily transport and store the obstacle.
Setting up the ladder is straightforward, requiring only a few screws to securely attach it to the truss structure. This simplicity enables quick assembly and disassembly, making it possible to move the obstacle from one location to another with ease. The EPIK DNA ladder's portability and ease of setup make it a versatile addition to various events or competitions."
