Baltimore Kinetic Sculpture Race
2012 Race Report: Poseidon’s Adventure



Here's a Sculpture!
< Previous Page Next Page >

Poseidon’s Adventure

This team got their entry form in at the last minute, but clearly had been working on Poseidon’s Adventure for some time. Propelled by one steering Poseidon in front and four merpeople behind, they seemed to easily navigate all terrain, except they needed pushing through the mud.

It looks like this sculpture is an expanded chassis of 2011’s Itty Bitty Charm City.

At the water entry, Mr. Poseidon got off the front of the sculpture, probed the water with one of his steering tridents (removable for just such events) and declared the ocean suitable for proceeding.

Their bribes consisted of their pit crew children adorably giving their “allowance” to assorted race officials to overlook various “infractions”.
