Aignam: Team Hammond is doing it.

Greg: Could you post more information? Are you saying that you guys insurred the riders? Also, as Aignam asked, how interested were people in it? How much was that? Was it a hard sale for $20 or were people lining up?

As for how many people chip in and getting it from one team to the next: that's something that I think will be worked out between the teams that want to go in on one. For instance, I would love to convince my team, NU-Trons, and MIT to do this. If that happened, we could ride the Segway from one college to the other (we're extrememly close!). However, if say the Prank Monkeys, and a bunch of those teams down there wanted to do this (hint, hint, Amanda M), they could probably use a car to take it between them or even ship it. So really, my idea wasn't to have a central organization for all teams who want to do this: however I'd be more than happy to do something like that if there's enough interest (post here or PM me if you're interested). In that scenario, a small group of Segways could be made available upon request to teams who pitch in and all they would have to pay in addition is shipping. That would reduce the price per team (maybe $500?) Both ideas are feasible.
