Kinetic Sculpture Race 2009

JHU student engineers and artists are collaborating to create a human-powered sculpture to compete in an all-terrain race that goes through sand, mud, and even water. The Blue Jay sculpture is being made from recycled and natural materials. It will be wired with GPS, web cams, and laptop so that its progress can be followed on race day, Saturday May 2, 2009.
