Anyone doing this?

Wait, What is This? The Power Racing Series (PPPRS) is an event where Hacker/Whateverspaces turn those toys cars that everyone wanted but only stupid Brad from down the street only owned (even though everyone hated him), into highly competitive sort-of racing machines. Teams are allowed quite a few liberties (motors, batteries) but we also made a few restrictions so you masochistic engineers can pleasurably cry yourselves to sleep at night. You have $500 to do this with (aside from safety equipment, cause we don’t want to mop you up either). You also compete in four events, and you’ll have to do more than just drive fast (re: be entertaining) to win points. After all, it’s not like we want an actual race to break out. Oh and it is rather unsafe, so you’ll sign a waiver. You built it, so we knew you’d understand. How Do I Get Involved? If you read this far, I’m going to assume you’re a part of an organization geared to making cool things. If this is so, get a few of your members involved, and do the following: * Buy a used or new PowerWheel or Little Tikes * Modify it to haul your “big bones” * Report and post your progress on your website (give yourself a pat on the back and all) * Come to Detroit for Maker Faire on July 31st to see how awesome you are.
