The real amazing thing is that I heard Dean constrained himself to a kit of FIRST parts and a 6 week schedule when building his new invention? As Tom points out,
the machine appears to reside 'in-the-box', however does Dean have to meet the 130lbs weight limit with or without a person in the seat?
If Dean were to incorporate a steel cage around the device, next year we can get the referees much closer to the action. To you think Deans system would be able to compensate for a self inflicted cloths-lining on the 1998 field?
