Cedarville - Hare Inspection
The judges inspect Cedarville University's "Hare"

This year's competition featured a 4' x 16' track with various barriers.  Vehicles needed to start in a designated Start/Stop Area, proceed to a designated Turn Area, and return to the Start/Stop Area.  The two most obvious paths were to follow a winding black line around the barriers or to take the shortest route and climb over the barriers.  There were originally 15 teams registered for this challenging competition, but a few dropped out at the last minute leaving 9 teams from 7 colleges. 
The results of the  competition are as follows:  (Select a team below for photos)
