The forth edition of the Black & Decker Drill Machine Race is going to be held in Hilderheim, Germany this 14th of october and promises to be a nice display of the creative use of mechanic wisdom. The Goal of the race is to complete a 150m long course using a common drill machine as power source. The 12 teams formed by students of different colleges in Germany and in Switzerland Compete against each other at the race as well as on creativity of the final vehicle design. The participation of my friends from the School of Design Offenbach will for sure make things Rough for the other teams. I have seen the first tests from their vehicle and can tell its fast! But until the race day, top secret!
