Agreed! As for what it is, Buggy (also called Sweepstakes) is a race held annually since 1920 at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Teams of five athletes (the pushers) push an un-motorized vehicle (a buggy) containing a driver (an actual person) around a 0.84 mile course in a relay format where the vehicle serves as the baton. Roughly half of the course is uphill, during which the pushers run and shove the buggy uphill. During the other - downhill - half, drivers are on their own to navigate tight turns at speeds of up to 40mph. For more information, visit cmubuggy.org.

That's an interesting theory, and Buggy DID begin as a fraternity-only event. But Buggy actually began in 1920 at a time when pushmobile races were fairly common (CMU wasn't even the only Pittsburgh college that had it). It's just that Buggy is the rare (and maybe only) version to survive through today.

This is awesome but what are the rules for the pushers do they have a maximum time they can push for with one push and can do it ubtil the next person starts pushing?

@CMUbuggy

Жыл бұрын

No maximum time. For most of the hills, there is a line designating the start of the hill and a line designating the end of a hill, and no one other than the pusher for that hill (and the driver) can be touching the buggy while it is on that hill. In the transition zone, the pusher for the current hill and the next hill can both touch the buggy, giving some freedom to how each team transitions between hills. The most important rule for pushers is that the Hill 5 pusher MUST be touching the buggy as the nose of the buggy crosses the finish line. Currently, most teams find the "bump-and-run" strategy to be more efficient than just holding the buggy the whole time, as it allows the pusher to use a more natural running style and prevents the pusher from unintentionally slowing the buggy down by trying to keep up with it. But different teams occasionally have different approaches to pushing.

Feel the Rhythm! Feel the Rhyme! Get on Up, It's Buggy Time! - Cool Runnings What is Drop Test? what's happening?

@CMUbuggy

Жыл бұрын

All buggies are required to have working brakes. The drop test is a safety test performed immediately after the race to make sure that they buggy did actually roll with those brakes (and that the brakes aren't a one-time use). The buggy is let go from a set point, and when it reaches a brake line the driver must hit the brakes, and the buggy must stop before it reaches the final line. If it continues past that line, the team is DQ'd. The driver must then release the brakes and re-brake twice more, to show that the brakes continue to function.
