There was only one rule on March 25 at Suncoast Science Faulhaber Fab Lab — have fun.
Over 200 teams of middle and high schoolers gathered at the Fab Lab to test their racing skills at the second annual RC Car Open.
Teams first tried their hand at a blind competition before moving to the obstacle course. The driver was blindfolded and sat in chair with their back to the course while their team member directed them through the double helix course.
Not every team successfully navigated the course, but even those that didn't made sure to follow the primary rule of the race — have fun.
