Very entertaining.
Quite a few apparently never came across the term "low center of gravity."

What is really amusing to me is that many of those entrants are engineering students.

I also see axle failures. Nothing causes crashes better than dynamic wheel separation under load.

Yes, they do. There are celebrity judges that award points for style, imagination, and design. And points for where you finish by your course time. All added up to determine the winners.
