From the $2000 Challenge: The Motorized Sofa

Is it a sofa? Couch? Ottoman? Who cares, it's motorized. Top speed? Who knows, 60? We're too afraid to find out. 

Kudos to the Georgia Tech Wreck Racing team for creating this beauty. And stay tuned for more $2000 Challenge highlights.

They've just autocrossed the couch.

I count 6 casters, 200# capacity each.  No problem.

Edd China's mobile sofa purportedly tops out at 50 mph.  He will have it here at at Autobooks-Aerobooks in Burbank, CA on Saturday, November 2 while he's busy signing copies of his new book Grease Junkie from 10:00am - 2:00pm.  Who knows?  Maybe you'll get a ride yourself.

Is there a way to see the couch autoX without being on facebalz?

Looked like some good bolster to wheel racing to me!
