The BAA also launched their own predictions, with Ben Matzke providing his predictions in the Raceday Preview.  He didn&#8217;t give letter designations unless it was a 2nd or 3rd team, but we&#8217;ve added &#8220;A&#8221; below (however, for purposes of points above, we&#8217;re crediting a no-letter-designation organization as the highest performing team &#8211; so if a B team placed top 10 after an A team DQ, we are awarding Ben credit for the team).  On the Women&#8217;s side, his Top 8 were (1) SDC A, (2) Fringe A, (3) SDC B, (4) SigEp A, (5) PiKA A, (6) Spirit A, (7) CIA A, and (8) Fringe B.  On the Men&#8217;s side, his Top 10 were (1) SDC A, (2) PiKA A, (3) SigEp A, (4) Fringe A, (5) SDC B, (6) Spirit A, (7) CIA A, (8) SigNu A, (9) SAE A, and (10) Fringe B.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The Tartan\u2019s Sports Spotlight<\/strong>.&nbsp; The Tartan ran a weekly column spotlighting some of the student-athletes at CMU.&nbsp; So it\u2019s fitting that on April 22, 2013, they decided to <a href=\"http:\/\/thetartan.org\/2013\/4\/22\/sports\/athlete-profile\">spotlight an athlete from the best CMU sport, Buggy<\/a>.&nbsp; The focus was on 5<sup>th<\/sup> year architecture student Becky Peterkin, a driver and part-time mechanic for Fringe who holds the team record in Bonsai from 2011.&nbsp; Becky disclosed an issue unique to Buggy mechanics \u2013 she had been a mechanic for 2 years, but she had to dial back her participation due to \u201cdeveloping allergies to a few raw materials\u201d.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Rain Redux<\/strong>.&nbsp; Once again, 2013 saw rain moving into Pittsburgh messing with the Raceday schedule.&nbsp; But it was a bit of a reversal from 2012, as instead of the rain coming on Saturday, it came in on Friday.&nbsp; For the second year in a row, the Men\u2019s races got knocked down to 1 day.&nbsp; A total of 4 Men\u2019s Heats were able to be run on Friday, but 3 minutes after Men\u2019s Heat 4 ended, rain started to fall and rolls were put on hold.&nbsp; The rain came in and made the course too wet, resulting in the cancellation of the remainder of the Men\u2019s Heats.&nbsp; Since not all of the Men\u2019s Heats were able to be completed on Friday, by rule Sweepstakes wiped out the 4 heats that had been completed and every team rolled instead on Saturday.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Rain Confusion<\/strong>.&nbsp; Meanwhile, the Women\u2019s heats were completed without issue on Friday.&nbsp; The Top 8 teams were all set to roll on Saturday, with the Women\u2019s Finals switching places with the Men\u2019s heats, being run after the Men\u2019s Prelims instead of the usual placement rolling first.&nbsp; But Saturday&#8217;s races took a while to get started, as overnight rain required a lot of waiting for the course to dry.&nbsp; After a delay of over an hour, racing finally began with Women\u2019s Rerolls, followed by the Men\u2019s Prelims.&nbsp; As soon as the Men\u2019s Prelims ended, there was a bit of a delay as Sweepstakes determined if any Men\u2019s rerolls were necessary.&nbsp; The delay, however, pushed the day closer to the time at which the roads needed to be reopened.&nbsp; So during the delay, Sweepstakes made the decision to cancel the Women\u2019s Finals.&nbsp; However, after much outrage (including the protests of Andy Bordick in the Broadcast Booth), 2 minutes after the announcement that there would be no Women\u2019s Finals, Sweepstakes Chair Josh Hixson entered the broadcast booth to announce that the decision had been changed, and that the Women\u2019s Finals would take place, going 8 minutes gun-to-gun.&nbsp; This caused tons of confusion, exemplified by CIA having sent its Women\u2019s team home after hearing the initial announcement and needed to scramble to get the team back.&nbsp; This resulted in CIA missing their scheduled heat, Women\u2019s Finals Heat 3, but due to the confusion they were allowed to reroll alone in the last heat of the day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>More Funding Issues<\/strong>.&nbsp; It had been a while since there was a fight over funding with the Student Government.&nbsp; But another battle ensued in the Fall of 2012.&nbsp; The fight wasn\u2019t with Sweepstakes, who had a budget of $45,841.&nbsp; Instead, the battle was with Apex.&nbsp; As a new team in 2012, they were not able to receive Student Senate funding through the Joint Funding Committee (JFC).&nbsp; But for the 2012-2013 school year, they were finally able to apply.&nbsp; Unfortunately for them, the JFC bylaws limited first time applicants to a total of $500.&nbsp; So even though Apex had requested $3,970 in order to properly support a buggy team and build a new buggy, they only received $500.&nbsp; As Apex Chair Connor Hayes told the Tartan, \u201c$500 will literally get us nothing.\u201d&nbsp; The article, in the November 5, 2012 Tartan, pointed out numerous flaws in the JFC procedures and interviewed people calling for a complete overhaul of the system.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Apex\u2019s Open Build<\/strong>.&nbsp; Of course, Apex didn&#8217;t let the funding issues stop them.  As noted in 2012, Apex was founded on the idea of openness, and they played a large role in creating the current environment of a (slightly) more open Buggy community.&nbsp; The culmination of this came when the organization decided to build their first buggy.&nbsp; Apex took plenty of <a href=\"https:\/\/cmubuggy.smugmug.com\/2012-2013\/Apex-Build-1-Oct-10\/\">photos<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Q_osIaoYbSM\">videos<\/a> of the process, which they released to the general public.&nbsp; The fact that Apex rose from the ashes of Pioneers wasn\u2019t lost on the team, and they named their new build Phoenix. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>New Buggies<\/strong>.&nbsp; But Apex wasn&#8217;t the only team to build.  PiKA managed to put together a very fast buggy, producing Banshee.  SigEp also put together a strong buggy that rivaled Barracuda, as they released the Kraken, but thanks to a crash on Saturday of Truck Weekend, Kraken would need to wait a year before debuting on Raceday.  Fringe and SDC each continued their yearly builds, producing Beacon and Vice, respectively.  CIA also kept going with yearly builds, producing Impulse.  SAE pulled off a shocker by coming out with their first new real buggy since Rubicon in 1999, producing the wheel alignment-challenged Lucy.   Lastly, Spirit didn&#8217;t completely build a new buggy, but they did <em>re<\/em>build their buggy from 2002, Kingpin, calling it Kingpin II.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns has-2-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>CIA Gets Woody<\/strong>.  As I noted in 2011 above, wood used to be a popular buggy-building material, but fell out of favor around the time that Jonas Salk discovered a vaccine for polio.  But in 2013, wood made a comeback!  Rachael Schmitt (current BAA Secretary), then a member of CIA, decided to take on a challenge over Winter Break.  She set out to make a buggy entirely out of wood!  The heavy, massive hardwood vehicle was finished in time to make it to the first weekend of rolls in the Spring.  The buggy seemed to be an attempt at a cure for CIA&#8217;s chronic issues with making their pushbars erect.

As noted, the road conditions had significantly deteriorated for 2014.  So a couple of teams had other ideas.  In early Fall, Pandora decided to turn left at Westinghouse Pond, resulting in the buggy tipping over, but there were no injuries or damage.  On March 31, Spirit&#8217;s Zulu Machafuko was attempting a pass test when the driver missed her line at the transition flag.  Instead of continuing down the road, Fuko ended up on the pedestrian ramp.  the roll ended with Fuko running into a light post, where it looked like she &#8220;pole-vaulted and fell to her side&#8221;.  Fortunately, the driver was uninjured and was even able to pull herself out of the buggy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Barricades Do Their Job<\/strong>.  Barricades are on the roads in order to stop things from getting through.  But they had limited success in the 2013-2014 school year.  At the last rolls of the fall, the driver of Pandora seemed to forget where she was on the course and forgot to turn at the Chute flag.  The buggy drove under one of the barricades, blowing it apart before coming to a stop on the bridge, but there was no damage or injury.  During one of the Spring rolls, a car came flying up Schenley Drive from Pitt and didn&#8217;t see the outer barricades.  The car hit the barricade, which was a 2x6x12 City barricade, with such force that the barricade was broken in half.  Thankfully this caused the driver to stop well before reaching the inner barricades.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>A Different Kind of &#8220;Buggy&#8221;<\/strong>.  Spectators and Buggy teams at Rolls on March 31 were treated to a different kind of &#8220;Buggy&#8221; on the course.  A man in a motorized wheelchair made his way past the barricades at the bottom of Hill 1, and proceeded up Hill 1 and on to Schenley Drive.  The rolls report noted that the man &#8220;didn&#8217;t seem to have a care in the world.&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Women\u2019s Safety<\/strong>.&nbsp;&nbsp; It was a disappointing Raceday for safety on the Women\u2019s side.&nbsp; In the Prelims, Fringe A had the second fastest time in Bissa, but they were DQ\u2019d for failing a spot safety.&nbsp; Luckily their B team also made it to the Finals, so the A team pushers, as alternates for the B team, was able to push on Saturday.&nbsp; Meanwhile, in the Finals, AEPi (yes, that\u2019s right, AEPi <em>in the Finals<\/em>) finished with the slowest time of the day.&nbsp; But what you don\u2019t realize when you never make it to the Finals is that occasionally, the Safety Chair will want to conduct a spot safety.&nbsp; Sure enough, he (a former AEPi) did, and AEPi failed, resulting in a DQ in their only Finals appearance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Men\u2019s Friday vs<\/strong>. <strong>Saturday<\/strong>.&nbsp; Friday gave us a preview of what to expect on Saturday from the first 4 Men\u2019s Heats, so I thought it might be interesting to see how they compared.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Men\u2019s Heat 1<\/strong> \u2013 PiKA B\u2019s Chimera (Lane 1), Spirit C\u2019s Mapambazuko (Lane 2), CIA C\u2019s Impulse (Lane 3).&nbsp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jHOk9iunhJs\">On Friday<\/a>, it wasn\u2019t very close on the front end, with PiKA B finishing in 2:26.1.&nbsp; The real battle was for 2<sup>nd<\/sup>, as Spirit led into the freeroll with CIA right on their tail.&nbsp; Spirit had a big fishtail in the Chute that allowed CIA to pass, though Spirit passed back on Hill 3.&nbsp; Spirit finished around 2:33, and CIA was around a 2:39.&nbsp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Clgb-wymyYQ\">On Saturday<\/a>, the battle was instead on the front end, as Spirit kept up with PiKA and actually caught PiKA in the roll up to Hill 3, before the PiKA pushers pulled away on the back hills.&nbsp; PiKA got 1 second slower, while Spirit got 4 seconds faster.&nbsp; CIA, meanwhile, clearly had some issues on Saturday, as they got 13 seconds slower, finishing with a 2:52.65.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Men\u2019s Heat 2<\/strong>.&nbsp; SigEp B\u2019s Mamba (Lane 1), Apex A\u2019s Phoenix (Lane 2), SAE B\u2019s Rubicon (Lane 3).&nbsp; The most exciting Men\u2019s Heat <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Qv3G5QyzGg4\">of Friday<\/a> came as SigEp and Apex went into the freeroll simultaneously.&nbsp; SigEp, with the Lane 1 advantage, got the narrow lead at the top of the freeroll and kept it until the Chute, at which point Apex carried more speed and passed SigEp on the roll up to Hill 3.&nbsp; SigEp fought back though, and pulled even on Hill 5, resulting in a photo finish that SigEp won with a 2:27.7, to Apex\u2019s 2:28, with SAE finishing around 3:02.&nbsp; You\u2019d think that the tightness might have caused the teams to rethink the heat <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6R5JebRG61U\">on Saturday<\/a>, but they didn\u2019t, and we got an even closer battle up the front hills. &nbsp;Again, the two buggies went into the freeroll neck and neck with SigEp having the narrow lead to start the freeroll, but SigEp\u2019s Mamba clearly suffered a brakes problem, as Apex passed as they approached the Stop Sign and Mamba ended up coming to a standstill in the Chute.&nbsp; None of the buggies improved on their Friday times, with Apex down by 7 seconds, SigEp by 20 seconds, and SAE more or less staying the same.&nbsp; Unfortunately, Apex Hill 2 pusher Connor Hayes didn\u2019t think about the SAE buggy behind him when he gave Phoenix his final shove on Saturday, and Rubicon made direct contact with Connor, taking his legs out from under him and resulting in an Apex DQ for pusher interference.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Men\u2019s Heat 3 <\/strong>\u2013 Fringe B\u2019s Beacon (Lane 1), SDC D\u2019s Avarice (Lane 2), NROTC A\u2019s Patriot (Lane 3).&nbsp; This was a disaster heat <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MnGOfdiqqNI\">on Friday<\/a>.&nbsp; Fringe struggled to get their buggy to the line in time on Friday, resulting in what would have been a DNS.&nbsp; Then, Avarice spun in the Chute, leaving just NROTC to finish.&nbsp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6ajxXY_7-c4\">On Saturday<\/a> though, it was a completely different heat.&nbsp; As noted above, NROTC scratched their roll on Saturday.&nbsp; But Fringe and SDC were much more evenly matched, and the two went into the freeroll together.&nbsp; Fringe had to swerve to avoid contact, and as the buggies crossed the street opposite Westinghouse Pond, it\u2019s possible that there was contact.&nbsp; Fringe was able to get in front and stayed there throughout the race, as both teams were able to finish.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Men\u2019s Heat 4<\/strong> \u2013 Spirit A\u2019s Kingpin, CIA B\u2019s Orca.&nbsp; The race was pretty uneventful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7jkNwzKQ5K8\">on Friday<\/a>, with Spirit clocking in at 2:19.7 and CIA around 2:25.&nbsp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=u3E4hAB7DZE\">Saturday<\/a> didn\u2019t turn out quite as well for Spirit.&nbsp; They had trouble getting Kingpin to the starting line and nearly dropped the buggy.&nbsp; As a result, one of the mechanics had to stay with the buggy for an extra second, which took them beyond the countdown to 5, resulting in a 5 second DQ (though their time was 1 second faster).&nbsp; CIA\u2019s time slowed slightly, as they lost 3 seconds on their original time.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Men\u2019s Notable Heats<\/strong>.&nbsp; Other than those mentioned above, there were a couple of other notable Men\u2019s heats.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-Clmgv4OG9c\">Heat 6<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 The most exciting part of the heat came at the start of the freeroll between SigEp A\u2019s Barracuda in Lane 1 and Spirit B\u2019s Haraka in Lane 2.&nbsp; The two went up the front hills together, but SigEp had the Lane 1 advantage.&nbsp; SigEp made a deep shove but had the narrow edge, and as Barracuda moved closer to the curb, it squeezed Haraka, forcing Haraka to swerve to avoid contact.&nbsp; On another note, the third team in the heat, CIA D, had their Hill 2 pusher push Conquest with duct tape over his mouth.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=pmwedMQmp50\">Heat 8 <\/a><\/strong>\u2013 SDC decided to put Malice on their B team, which would have been fine, but the team was DQ\u2019d thanks to the Hill 4 pusher.&nbsp; As the buggy approached the end of the Hill 4-5 transition zone, the Hill 4 pusher gave one final shove, but his foot was on the line, resulting in the DQ.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=J9PbzBMDp9E\">Heat 9<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 The heat had two teams, Fringe A\u2019s Bissa and SigNu A\u2019s Bungarus Krait, but neither team ended up with a time that counted.&nbsp; Fringe led throughout, but the Hill 5 pusher, who tried to keep the buggy close with light bumps, gave slightly too hard of a bump as he approached the finish line and couldn\u2019t catch up to the buggy, resulting in a Pushbar DQ.&nbsp; Meanwhile, behind them, SigNu couldn\u2019t make it through the Chute, spinning out and having the back of the buggy roll into the outer haybales.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6SdjB6-jFkM\">Heat 10<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 The championship heat, as SDC A\u2019s Bane earned the win behind a King of the Hill effort on Hill 1 and a wild Hill 4 that prompted commentator Andy Bordick to note that \u201cthe hill just crested and he pushed that buggy 20 feet away from himself.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Notable Women\u2019s Heats<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Timing Heat<\/strong> \u2013 This doesn\u2019t usually warrant a comment, but the timing heat for the day led to a bit of drama.&nbsp; The heat was being run by Spirit\u2019s Mapambazuko, but no one seemed to realize it was happening.&nbsp; The broadcast didn\u2019t show the buggy rolling until it was already approaching the Stop Sign.&nbsp; A few flaggers heading to the flagging area nearly got run over by the lead truck. &nbsp;And it\u2019s possible those flaggers were Spirit flaggers, because the Spirit flaggers were nowhere to be seen on the course.&nbsp; The CIA Chute flagger alertly put out their flag so that the Spirit driver knew when to turn.&nbsp; Of course, it probably resulted in a non-traditional line for the driver, and the buggy nearly spun out.&nbsp; The driver saved the turn, but lost the back hatch in the process.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=R0AiyaIl3Rk\">Prelims Heat 2<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 The CIA D team, full of drivers and mechanics, put on dresses to push Freyja, and Spirit A\u2019s Kingpin had no trouble in the heat.&nbsp; But the real excitement was the second buggy in the heat, SDC D\u2019s Avarice.&nbsp; The buggy took a tight line in the Chute and appeared to oversteer, spinning out but managing to avoid the haybales.&nbsp; CIA D got the stop flag and was granted a reroll on Saturday.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=12UgYAB3Qwg\">Prelims Heat 3<\/a> <\/strong>\u2013 SAE A never made it to the starting line, leaving SDC C\u2019s Vice to roll alone.&nbsp; But the issue was apparently not SAE\u2019s, as a megaphone malfunction caused them to not hear the countdown, and they were granted a reroll on Saturday.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QMOwFBSySSo\">Finals Heat 1<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 It\u2019s only notable because AEPI MADE A FINALS!
