Segway-America at 10 MPH
Anyone else hear the interview on the NPR last night with the two guys who are riding Segways cross country? I just heard part of the report. I'm curious about their route. One said their biggest worry was rumble strips.

Oh man. An open invitation for interviews? FIRSTers are going to swarm this thing like the stage at Kickoff.

But maybe some of the other teams on the route (hint**Philly**hint) should contact them. |

I hope they stop in Michigan. Ypsi to be exact. I'll probably be bike riding and see them cruising on.

Re: Segway-America at 10 MPH
Hmm, they're slated to travel through the Youngstown/Warren, OH area in early to mid October. I think Team 48 may try to help these guys out in some way. I will talk to the Council of Elders and see what they think.

Re: Segway-America at 10 MPH
Well, they are going through Worcester, so it would only make sense that they would stop by Dean Kamen's alma mater. To bad they are scheduled to pass through during the first weekend of our October break...

Re: Segway-America at 10 MPH
Looks like the the Segway Across America has finally come to an end in a little more than 3 months.
