The Speed Trap system was out again and after some slight modifications was performing much better than last weekend. One improvement was implementation of additional cameras to test accuracy of the speeds gathered. The results are promising. Tom Wood and Ben Brown have compiled all the collected data, although it has not yet been labeled by buggy. You can find the unlabeled data in its own post tomorrow. So far it looks like PiKA, Fringe, SDC, and CIA are taking the top spots. No surprise, given last semester.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the rapidly approaching Raceday, only a handful of teams are coming out. Buggies were rolling this weekend with a minimum quorum. Those teams that did come out collected nearly half a dozen rolls each.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><strong>In Attendance\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<table class=\"data\" border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Org<\/th>\n<th>Saturday<\/th>\n<th>Sunday<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Apex<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Ember, Phoenix<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>CIA<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Impulse, Equinox<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Fringe<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Balius, Bissa, Beacon<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>PiKA<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Banshee, Raptor<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>SDC<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Malice, Havoc, Bane, Avarice<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Spirit<\/td>\n<td><\/td>\n<td>Inviscid, Zuke, Fuko, Seraph, King Pin<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><strong>Observations<\/strong>\u00a0(<a href=\"https:\/\/cmubuggy.smugmug.com\/2015-2016\/Spring-Rolls-Feb-28\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sunday Gallery<\/a>)<!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"list-style-type: none;\">\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Apex\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/2015-2016\/Spring-Rolls-Feb-28\/i-bTz3gmX\/0\/a0079b0b\/Th\/IMG_5098-Th.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/strong>&#8211;\u00a0Apex made their triumphant return to rolls this weekend rolling both Ember and Phoenix. Ember was looking suspiciously like a Spirit buggy \u2013 stripped down in preparation for a new paint job. Could they be starting a Spirit-like new paint every year tradition?<\/li>\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/2015-2016\/Spring-Rolls-Feb-28\/i-464wvDT\/0\/8277dce9\/Th\/IMG_5155-Th.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><strong><strong>CIA<\/strong> &#8211;\u00a0<\/strong>In usual fashion, CIA was out with a good turn out and ready to pass-test. Although Impulse was able to successfully pass Equinox, the latter caught and passed in the chute beating Impulse to Hill 3. All the excitement of Raceday with only 2 buggies and one team. Uncharacteristically CIA was only out those two buggies this weekend.<\/li>\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/2015-2016\/Spring-Rolls-Feb-28\/i-rrWj7nn\/0\/2fca8ab1\/Th\/IMG_5082-Th.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><strong>Fringe<\/strong> &#8211; Fringe was putting out some impressive freeroll speeds, rolling without fairing covers for much the day. Their bare wheels were shown off to the world. We\u2019re not sure if they just lost their fairings or if something else is afoot. One alum noted that their pusher team isn\u2019t moving quite as fast as we would predict, but we all suspect that Truck Weekend will see some beefier pushing.<\/li>\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/2015-2016\/Spring-Rolls-Feb-28\/i-m79jxVD\/0\/d27c2f0f\/Th\/IMG_5150-Th.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><strong>PiKA<\/strong>\u00a0&#8211; Banshee was out fainingless and back to her blazing speeds. She was by far the fastest buggy rolling this weekend. Raptor made a commendable effort, but was very much left in the dust. The drivers have made some great improvements on chute lines as well as we are seeing considerably less skidding. Unfortunately the PiKA pushers are not yet at the same caliber as their buggies\/drivers and on several occasions they had to get help from CIA and Spirit to catch their buggies out of the chute and get them up the hill.<\/li>\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/2015-2016\/Spring-Rolls-Feb-28\/i-2CNxPDC\/0\/51fd458e\/Th\/IMG_5073-Th.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><strong>SDC<\/strong> &#8211; SDC was out with a nice pusher\/mechanic turn out. They were ramping up their production this weekend in clear preparation for Raceday operations. It appears that they have started heating wheels already as Havoc\/Malice were brought out at the last second to Hill 2 and was given a rushed countdown. There is definitely some voodoo going on behind the scenes as their speeds have dramatically increased in the freeroll. On the uphill side of things, their pushers are looking good, but don\u2019t yet appear to be giving it their Raceday-all.<\/li>\n<li><strong>SigEp<\/strong> &#8211;\u00a0SigEp popped into rolls, but lacking any flaggers or pushers, they left before the morning got underway. At least one disgruntled alumnus has expressed their extreme displeasure at the lack of rolls this semester. While we\u2019ll hope they retain their contender status in Sweepstakes, this might be indicative of where they will place on Raceday.<\/li>\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/photos.smugmug.com\/2015-2016\/Spring-Rolls-Feb-28\/i-2xDqhWv\/0\/a15907c8\/Th\/DSCN1443-Th.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><strong>Spirit<\/strong> &#8211;\u00a0Unfortunately Spirit continues to be our source of accident-related news. Inviscid spun out and Kingpin suffered a relatively large crash when the driver appeared unable to turn into the chute. Reports from the Monument say that flying hay was visible from the Freeroll. The driver was shaken but suffered only minor injuries as far as we know. Hopefully the team will be in better control of their buggies come Raceday.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8212;<br \/>\nRolls Report Contributors:<br \/>\nAnthony P.<br \/>\nBen M.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Weather prevented rolls this Saturday, but buggies were out rolling Sunday with far fewer Uber cabs and fire trucks.
