We saw the R2AK depart from the Victoria Harbour in 2016(second year for the R2AK), we were amazed at all the crazy pedal-powered contraptions the racers had built to propel their boats (victoria harbour doesnt permit sailing, and the race forbids the use of engines).

@rek It's a great rule that really fosters creative engineering :)

@rek listening to the trailer: “I only search for live people, I don't search for bodies.” Coast Guard woman 🤣 @1:59

@rek I know I’m over-engineering but it would be cool to have a big flywheel that smoothed out the pedal input and also served as a stabilizer.

@avi that'd be cool, Dev & I have talked about having a pedal system with a flywheel for Pino :>...(although our boat is too heavy for it to be rly worthwhile, I think)
