Actual Art! Look out!

I'm currently a sophomore at College for Creative Studies (or CCS) and being such, I had to be a freshman at one point. In the Second Semester of Freshman year (if you're a transportation design major) you make a "Cable Racer", aka- a form with wheels over it. The requirements were that you had to fit a 1/5 scale person in it, and that it couldn't be more than 8 pounds. We then carried through 100 sketches to find your design (I found mine on sketch #106 if I recall), and then built this. Formally known as "5" or "It'll beat you in the turns" (The cable cars ran down a single sagging piece of wire, we didn't have any turns. that's why it has that name.)

In the end, It weighed five pounds, thus the other title, ran well (wasn't the fastest) and won the "Sleekest design award". Pretty nostalgic semester for me now, but here's to more of where that came from!

Enjoy!
