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 [...]
Rolls on Saturday have been canceled on account of wintery temperatures, but Sunday is still on, and it’ll be the last day of rolls. Last Sunday’s experiment with live-broadcasting rolls didn’t turn any heads at ESPN, but I’d call it reasonably successful, so we’re going to try it again. If you don’t want to brave [...]
I know I don’t want to admit it, but the reality is that the end of summer is in sight, and the Buggy Alumni Association wants to be ready for another big year (our 4th!). After the buzz from raceday died down, we all took a healthy break from buggy madness, but a few things [...]
If you’ve been on cmubuggy in the last 5 days since our new site debuted (and over 2,000 of you have), you’ve undoubtedly checked out its biggest new feature: the video library. For the launch we had 264 videos capturing buggy from the 1950′s through raceday 2009. Thanks to our partners in this project over [...]
I hope the rolls report faithful weren’t too distraught today given the lack of rolls report following an exciting truck weekend. As you may remember, after truck weekend the large and well compensated BAA staffers spend the night producing an in depth and comprehensive report for our generous supporters: the Members-Only Raceday Preview. Lucky for [...]
While six of the buggy orgs were in their garage all winter building new buggies, we did some building of our own and attempted the first complete overhaul of our website since it was launched in 2008. In addition to a visual re-design and upgraded forum, gallery, and news software, some of the exciting new [...]
Classes are out (which implies people had been going recently), tents and trucks are accumulating around campus, and cmubuggy.org has just switched on a bunch of new features. It must be raceday! Our front page has been updated with links to and descriptions of all of our raceday specific amenities, but I’ll recap some of [...]
Buggy books are one of our best sources for buggy history. Just like old yearbooks, they’re just fun to browse through to see how much things have changed and how much they’ve stayed the same. Teams no longer proudly describe their build process in detail as was common into the mid 70′s. Check out this [...]
That’s right, classes haven’t even started but there are only 100 short days to get ready for raceday. For all the current students out there, that means it’s time to hit the gym and work all night in the garage. For us alumni, well … start getting the vocal chords and the liver in shape [...]
That’s right, it seems like an institution already, but it was only a year ago that cmubuggy.org got started and gave the buggy lovers of the world a place to congregate. The year-round trash talk, the authoritative source to resolve buggy trivia disputes, and the weekly updates of pictures and news all seemed to have been well [...]
