Drag Sleds

With a place in the final up for grabs, our teams were challenged to build super fast drag sleds – single-axled speedsters, inspired by the oddball US pastime of racing motorbike-engined beasts with skis across a field. Our teams raced one at a time against the clock over a timed 100-metre course.
