ART: On the last stretch of our journey westward, our band of bloody pioneers venture from Arcata to Ferndale in a covered wagon that has been gutted of all but its glory. We wore out Kevin, the massive ox that once towed this cart, long ago. All that remains of Kevin now is his beating heart which will pull us to the Ferndale finish. The source of our hardship has been none other than the infamous bandits known to plague the California coast, Dis and Terry. The knives they took to our wagon cover have stained our once stark white canvas with the blood and bodily fluids that have spilled from its innards. While Dis and Terry may have slashed our wagon, they were no match for our glory. Forward and onwards we move, for what is Glory without the guts?

ENGINEERING: Our gutty covered wagon features front suspension, a rear differential, cable-pulled steering, a risky 3/4” drive axel, disc brakes— which we are confident have a 50% chance of performing efficaciously, and 588 gear combinations per pilot for a total of 345,744 gear combinations. We will propel our way through the bay on yard-made foam pontoons and roll over the dunes on foam sand tires. Our machine’s ability to ACE despite our underfunding is a true testament to the ingenuity of our engineering.
