Pinewood progress report

As the Pinewood Derby approaches (I believe it is two days from now) the cars are beginning to take shape.

Here we see Ed putting the hinges on Jake's Blackberry Racer - a car that can get to the finish line and text the results home.



And here Jake is demonstrating one use of Tim's Flip Speedster with audio and video outputs so the driver can keep in touch while in the maintenance pit.


I have no idea how these cars will come in in the race but based on how much fun Jake and Tim have had BEFORE the wheels went on, I suspect there will be a lot of envious cub scouts Monday night.
