Toxic Waste Dump!

SETTING             
A can of highly toxic popcorn has contaminated the robotics field. The toxic area extends to the ceiling. If the poisonous popcorn is not transferred to a safe container for decontamination, the toxic popcorn will contaminate and destroy the population of the entire city. The popcorn is estimated to have a safe life of exactly 10 minutes before it explodes. Obviously, there is insufficient time to contact authorities and evacuate the city. Therefore, the lives of thousands of people are in your hands.

Inside the field you will find two containers. One (unsafe) container is about half full of the toxic popcorn. The other (safe) container is available for decontamination.

TEAM GOAL    
You must find a way to safely transfer the toxic popcorn from the unsafe container to the safe container, using only the materials provided to you.
