Baltimore Kinetic Sculpture Race
2013 Race Report: Agogosaurus



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

Agogosaurus

The return of Agogosaurus seemed to master the kinetic racecourse even more completely than in 2012. This sculpture also completed the 42-mile 2012 Kinetic Grand Championship in Humboldt County, California.

In Baltimore, the sand is fairly flat; in California it is a miles-long Pacific beach, the sand includes dramatic hills that have demolished the ACE hopes of many a kinetic racer. Incorporating lessons learned from California, Agogosaurus handily won an ACE in Baltimore, and also won Baltimore’s coveted Engineering award.

The gnarly tires include a central smooth, hard insert to dramatically reduce rolling resistance on pavement but transition easily to sand and mud.

Pilots celebrate as they complete the mud crossing without the need of any assistance, or even a pause.

Brandon Emmons—shown here holding the 2013 Engineering trophy—also created the Jemicy School’s Kinetic Sculpture Racing Course, available online and linked from the Build Your Own Entry! page.
