I decided that if I was going to do Homecoming this year, this included getting up early and going to the Reck Parade on campus. My family decided that getting up at "normal" time on a Saturday wasn't for them, so off I went by myself. All of the entries were judged, though I can't say I paid any attention to the judging as it was happening.
There were quite a few awesome classic cars. These two were my favorites.
A Tech parade wouldn't be the same without a hover craft.
I think this was my favorite fixed body float.
I think my favorite "person powered" contraption was the human hamster wheel.
There were quite a few that were bicycle based contraptions. Those varied in type and body style but none were direct-drive. There were a few that were motor driven, several of those had issues.
Proof that at least some of the contraptions actually worked.
Definitely worth my getting up early for. I had a blast talking to other parade goers, including a student from Pitt.
