SDC had the Flip video splint on their buggies again. This time it went around the course twice on Addiction‘s inner side facing forward. (Now there’s a video I’d like to see on youtube.) For the second two rolls, the camera was mounted on Psychosis and faced back and upward at the pushers.

Pioneers is finally out at rolls and rolling Chaos.

(Sunday Gallery)

Oct 25: Rolls canceled due to rain. The Homecoming Events continued (Saturday Events Gallery).

Oct 26: Eleven orgs and quite a few alumni were present at freerolls on Sunday.

Rolling Orgs: SAE, AEPi, SigNu, PiKA, SDC, Fringe, PhiKap, SigEp, CIA, Spirit, KDR
Number of Buggies: four for SDC and Fringe, three for CIA, SigNu, and PiKA, and two for KDR. (This information was not recorded during rolls, so may be innacurate.)
Not rolling: Beta had an off-campus party on Saturday night, either for Homecoming or because they can’t party next week due to an away game. Pioneers has not yet qualified a buggy for rolls.

CMUtv was filming rolls. They are definitely starting early.

Rolls were slightly delayed as Hills 4 and 5 were swept of leaves again. Sweepers also worked on the backhills between rolls later in the morning. The orgs got through the roll order about 2 and a half times.
