Zuchinni Race 2023 VHS booth

I just confirmed that VHS will have a booth at the McSpadden County Fair / Zucchini Race on Sunday Sept 10th
We will probably bring out a 3d printer and offer tools and material for repair of Zucchini racers.

We will be needing volunteers.

Here if the form for volunteering at both zucchini race and car free day:

@dbynoe and I will be there with some variety of robot animal.

Can we set up a test ramp for people to check if their car goes straight?

I don’t see why not. it’s a great idea.
Do you want to take the lead on building it? I am not sure if I have the bandwidth to make it.

I can probably help out a bit at the booth if needed, l I’ll be there racing a zucchini with friends!

On that note, does anyone have a remote-operated noisemaking device I can borrow/have? For reasons?

The McSpadden County Fair Zucchini Race booth was a lot of fun!


We even helped with one emergency repair for the final round of racing!

Huge thank you to all the volunteers that made it happen

Also, special thanks to @TankGuy for helping me load the car in the morning and cleaning up after me.

Also want to thank @JohnC again for putting together the portable battery AC power supply:
it held up for both events, powering 3d printer, soldering iron and hot glue guns.

and it looks distinctly hackspace:
