entered two teams in this competition - the Tortoise and the Hare The Hare - This should have been Cedarville's fastest car, but had some difficulties and was unable to finish the course. The Tortoise - (1st Place) This was supposed to be Cedarville's slower car, but was still fast enough to capture 1st Place after the Hare faltered. The Tortoise posted three impressive times of 14s, 13s, and 13s in its three trials. |

 The Hare |
 The Hare was built using an Altera CPLD (complex programmable logic device) |
 The Hare used a clever combination of large wheels and ramps to smoothly go over the barriers. |
