2010 Kinetic Sculpture Race, Baltimore - Platypus hits the water
Loading...
Uploaded by bobjustices on May 3, 2010
Recorded May 1, 2010 at Canton Waterfront. (See imprv'd vers'n). The Platypus Human Powered Kinetic Sculpture hits the water entry; rounds the buoy, but can't quite make it up the steepest upgrade in the 15 mile race, the ramp out of the water. Maybe that barbecue grill they added was a bit too heavy. Or, maybe that didgeridooing left them out of breath. But the crowd loves them, and they finally made it up the ramp with a little help from the pit crew and/or crowd. Weighing 3,800 pounds, 13 ft tall, 26 ft long, it's eight humanpower and two "barnacles" (driver/grilltender and top lookout) deserve a lot of credit for moving it through mudpit, sandpit, water, hills and streets on an unusually hot May 1st. Recorded from kayak SS Yellow Recyclo-Submarine, using Flip cam. Unsteadily.
See the stabilized HD version at link in the video annotation. YouTube Video Editor has stabilized it some.
(Actually, I think Platypus was dragging a rudder, or the like, and that was the problem.)
