As per background history for this lovely team I'm afraid I can't go back very far. But I sure can tell you about the last couple years. We've been branching out into new methods of concrete casting and concrete mixing, widening our horizons and trying out crazy things. Two years ago, our methods left us with a boat so full of voids that we could not compete. Last year, our brilliant complex but yet simple method led to a victory at Regionals, and the Tony P. Chrest Innovation award at the 21st Annual ASCE National Competition of Concrete Canoe. ASCE being the American Society of Civil Engineers. "Presented in Recognition of Superior and Creative use of Technology and Materials in the Construction of a Concrete Canoe" reads the plaque. Flattering for sure, but this year we want it all. Follow along on this blog, as I attempt to explain the process of building our beautiful oxymoron.
