A Brief History of CAP KINETIC
CAP Kinetic was conceived in 2016. Like most teams, we began as unknowing spectators wondering why there was a giant Platypus roaming through Patterson Park. A closer investigation revealed that the PLATYPUS was human powered. We cracked open a beer and said, "we can do that." Lacking creativity we dubbed ourselves the Canton And Patterson Kinetic Team or CAP Kinetic for short. It made sense since we intended to build the sculpture on a parking pad off of Eastern Ave. Here's what we have done since then.
2017 "Seafoods Revenge"- Outright failure. Boat had to be scuttled ⅓ of the way into the race.
2018 "Revenge of the Sea"- Repainted the boat black and fixed the bare minimum. Had to get a push through all the obstacles and many hills, but finished the race.
2019-Shark Week- Totally overhauled sculpture. Succeeded in many ways. Failed in some others. Won Best Pit Crew for assisting the team that won "Worst Honorable Mention."
2022 "Chronosaurus Rex" GRAND MEDIOCRE CHAMPIONS. Rode a time traveling Dinolorean with a Dinosaur riding shotgun. Peak awesomeness.
2023- Engines and Dragons. This is where the current story begins….
