Your team can determine how they will hold the brooder lamp in place for the competition. You can use whatever materials you desire to make the lamp stay in place (prefabricated stands are ok). Please remember that the lamp cannot be enclosed due to a potential safety hazard (plus you cannot enclose the Sun). The material that you use to support/fasten the lamp DOES NOT count in the dimensions of the solar cooker. We will measure your cooker without the lamp and without the support. The lamp support/fastening material can only be used to hold the lamp not and it cannot be used to help heat the water.
When thinking about where to place your lamp, think about the Sun. What angle would the Sun be at for your particular solar cooker to work best?
