Baltimore Kinetic Sculpture Race
2013 Race Report: Get Tanked

Get Tanked is precisely the sort of sculpture awarded Worst Honorable Mention. While they crossed the starting line intact and submitted as an ACE entry, they soon broke an axle and couldn’t move except via pushing.

But push they did, through the Inner Harbor and miles down Boston Street to the water entry, then up to Patterson Park and through sand and mud. Our understanding is that they ceased pushing after the mud.

This team from Gainesville and Bristow, Virginia, also created Bike to the Future in 2012—which won both ACE and Engineering awards in curious contrast.
