It’s that time again…BAA committee members are stepping down, and we’re looking for candidates NOW. This is a call to action for serious volunteers who want to see the BAA through the next couple years of growth. The main position open this spring is President, but we’re also looking for new people to join the [...]

Our 4th annual lead truck auction will draw to a close tonight at 9pm, so get your bids in early and often to secure your ride. We do have a “reserve bid” system if you want to set a maximum and let the computers do the work. We’ve raised a total of $471.38 so far (all [...]

It’s the time of year when exciting buggy things start happening pretty much every day. I hope you’re not trying to get any work done, because today is one of those days. Since we unveiled cmubuggy.org 2.0 just over a year ago, the video section has been one of the less talked about, but most used [...]
This idea has been in the works for a while, but now it’s happening, and just in time. When we helped introduce Jumbotrons to the course in 2009, it was a fun experiment. Now it’s practically a necessity. Can you imagine not being able to see what was going on in the chute while you’re [...]
After two weeks off for spring break, we find ourselves right in the heat of things with just 4 weeks to go. Push practice started this week and has enjoyed absurdly comfortable March temperatures. Rolls are scheduled for all 8 remaining days before raceday, so lets hope the good weather continues unabated. So that’s how [...]

To set the mood, I’ve included a slightly obfuscated picture from exactly 8 years [...]
UPDATE: All reservations must be made by Friday March 23rd. Now you can’t say we never did anything nice for ya. After weeks of late-night, never-back-down, tooth-and-nail negotiation sessions, the Buggy Alumni Association is proud to announce the first ever members-only hotel discount. That’s right, we’ve secured a limited number of rooms at the luxurious [...]
Classes are back in session, the (so far, mild) winter is moving right along, teams are presumably hard at work in their garages getting into the meat of their 2012 builds. For alumni who aren’t taking classes, mostly stay inside, and don’t get to build buggies anymore this can be a bit of a slow [...]
