Kensington Kinetic Sculpture Derby

2010 Winners !

We had 29 teams register with 2 no-shows, and 2  un-official additions and over 200 people riding. Judging gets harder and harder every year, there are so many good entries and all the teams put a lot of work into their entries. Thank you again to everyone who helped make this event possible, volunteers, sponsors, artists, and spectators! Everyone that competes in the Kinetic Sculpture Derby is a winner in my book, but the following teams won awards-
