DaVinci Days 1997 Kinetic Sculpture Teams

Watch for the following teams:

A Nose Ahead

This new Corvallis team could be said to have a nose for trouble, but they are just trying to get ahead.

Big Dog

Last year's Sweethome High School machine, "Geigl", returns to run the course again. Let's hope there aren't any dog fights.

Bone To Be Wild

The 1996 "Rockeeters" return again with a boney theme. With all these dogs around, they'd better move fast!

Cleopatra, Queen of Denile

This new California entry runs on pyramid power and a healthy refusal to acknowledge reality.

Cycling Samurai

Last year's Sweethome Elementary machine, "Draggin' Wagon", returns with a warrior theme. At last, someone to keep those dogs in check.

Fifi the Kinetic Chia Pet

Another California dol, but this one has living fur! Honey, don't forget to water the dog!

Free Wheelie

These Corvallis veterans return again: You can't keep a good Orca down and Keiko proves that again as he passes through Corvallis on his way to wilds.

Hammer Dog

More dogs! What is this, the year of the Dog? Watch out, this one carries a hammer and knows how to use it.

Humboldt Honker

This California entry will be right at home as it crosses the wetlands near Bald Hill. As long as all these dogs leave it alone.

Josta

This new Oregon machine is sure to Pepsi things up. Especially welcome in the warmer weather.

Keltic Crawdudes

Long-time race fans may think they are suffering from Deja Vu. Yes, this machine was here for our first race, though not quite so green.

Killer Tomato

This returning Philomath entry is a two-wheel-on-one-axle machine that has been completely redesigned for this year. Don't get too close or you may become its dinner.

Late Knights and Crescent Wrenches

The 1996 dragon returns. Apparently it has a strong fondness for dog food and heard that the selection here was good.

Lutefisk

This 1996 Port Townsend entry returns, looking for it's roots. Or at least for dinner.

Maltese Fulcrum

This Corvallis race veteran seems to have settled on a vanishing theme. Now you see it, now you don't.

Meet the Beetles

Astute observers will recognize this as the rare golfcart beetle, only found on Watermelon World.

Panther Pride -- Private Reserve

I'd like to figure out how to get this one into my wine cellar. Direct from Medford.

Scientists on Sabbatical

Da Vinci Days' very own Village Scientist takes a sabbatical and heads for the mud.

Spirit of Muckle Flugga

This returning Washington entry towers over everything and keeps on rolling.

Time Rex

Another returning Corvallis entry, this visitor from the future has been here before. No, wait, that's not right. I'm confused. If I go back in time and kill my mother before I was born, then .... wait a minute, I'll get it ...

Turbo Carrot

A new entry from just up the road. Wow! Tomatoes, carrots, I've almost got enough for a salad!
