So some of us were packing for SVR last Saturday and we were looking at a spare swivel module from our 2005 robot when we thought "how cool would it be if we used that to make a tricycle". So we began designing and three days later... VOILA, an awesome rear wheel powered, rear wheel steering tricycle. Everything used on the tricycle were spare parts lying around the lab, we even dug out the chair from the depths of our storage container

If anyone going to SVR wants to give it a ride, come on tomorrow at around 7:30 am, I will be hanging outside the entrance driving around until they let us in at 8:30. Let me know what you think!
