At 2:00 there is a guy, number 30 that's riding without a roll bar? Was that not a requirement or are you excused if you have an upright style bike?

You're not looking closely. Most of the well placing teams (RHIT, CalPoly, Rolla, Olin) have similar shapes, they have the same goal. Most of the changes are elsewhere, steering, etc. Here's a summary of RHIT:
Y1, Steel frame, al/shrink wrap fairing. Very bulbous at the front
Y2, Steel frame/roll bar, composite fairing. Bullet shaped
Y3, Steel subframe, composite shell and roll bar, head bubble used

Y4, Very refined composite shell/frame. New steering linkage (not direct), rear wheel bolted directly to the shell. The top also fit, and rider changes took 25% as long.
Y5, Composite subframe, first tricycle (leaning too), also useable with 2 wheels, different vehicle class.
Y6, Return to a steel frame, multipart fairing, different leaning mechanism.

@msbradle We did do a trike this year, and we did something completely new with the subframe. The outside looks very similar, admittedly, but it's twice as aerodynamically efficient in a cross-wind.
See you at East!

I'm really pumped to see what bikes come out this year. Our team had a trike and it was really unstable above 20 mph. This year we chose to try a two wheel for better speed. If we had a bigger budget we would have tried to build one of each.

Yea, I'm from the PSU team Oregon.
This year is different though, speed isn't everything...

I got what you mean but it works so well. trikes just seem to have a really hard time competing with the speed of the 2 wheelers. It might be a steep backward. I am interested to see what new ideas they come with though. Are you from a competing school? I'm on the Northern Illinois team.

Great video. The only problem with RH's design is; it's exactly the same as the 2years before (getting old). Let's see if they can come up with something different in 2010. Maybe a trike....
