Purpose The purpose of the Human Powered Vehicle competition is to promote student interest in technology, conservation, and problem solving.
(1) Build any type of vehicle that can be powered by a human being. (2) The HPV must be completely constructed by the student, except for the chain drive and brakes (which can be adapted from a bicycle). All other parts must be of the students' own construction. (3) No batteries can be used on the HPV for storage of power. (4) If questions arise during the construction phase of your HPV, please e-mail your inquiries to LehmanM743@aol.com
(1) All grade groups will run the same course. Teams must be composed of three or four students. (2) The racecourse will be in the shape of a rectangular track setup inside the Centennial Building. The length of the race will be five laps, or approximately 500 meters. (3) Students may change drivers during the race. The clock will continue to run during any stops. (4) The winner of the race will be the team that completes the racecourse in the shortest period of time.
The race will be divided into two categories:
