Award Winning Finale!

Starting to lose some stability... Getting more rain from above.
After a pause for the race start, we had a hard time starting forward - the wheel wouldn't turn. Then I noticed it was more oval shaped, then the roof was coming in - time to bail out. Got Marshall clear, then Jami and I bailed out quick! Too fast for photos.

Look at how well our boxes held together! It was just the part holding them in a circle.

Here's another source - partial collapse.

Stretching out for the award - this time I made the cover of the newspaper instead of Marshall (who's still there, just off to the right). Jami's hand does show.


We didn't get many photos after this - just had to get cleaned up and start hauling boxes out to the recycling point. Next year I need to make it farther around the course so there's less distance to carry the cardboard.

  1. If you attempt to enter the X-prize orbital vehicle competition I am going to take Marshall into protective custody. Pat
