Team: Turn and Burn

The team sketched out ideas on everything from blackboards to napkins.

Once they had their design they did more sketching, this time for a wheel template.

The fork section of the body tube is checked for clearance.

The distance to the rear drive pedals is checked before the seat is made.

At this point the design seems to be coming along, but shortly after this picture a test drive lead to structural failure.

With little time before the competition date the team quickly evaluates alternate designs.

Somewhere between luck and genius the team pulls together a completely new design that would end up taking second place on the race course.
