Team 1 - Super Dario Kart

Team Members:
  • Anna
  • Johnathan
  • Daniel
  • Rebecca
Item:  
  • Mario (Dario) Kart - Green

Objective:
  • Convince passerbys to challenge "Dario" to a game of "Dario Kart." In this game, we race cardboard karts across campus. The item we need to reach the final destination is the green kart, and is held by the passerby. Two of us race along with him in different karts, following a trail marked by traffic cones. Item boxes are left at each flag in an attempt to slow down the racer long enough for us to get a photo.

We get a participant!
Race about to start ...

And they take off faster than we can keep up.

As I couldn't find a computer with an SD drive, I then had to take a photo of a screen of a photo being taken of a screen ... The phone is in the way, but you can see the tail end of the car in the left corner of the phone.


Game Results:
  • We found eager participants not too far into the starting time, and they ran for us all the way from point A to point B, without needing to find a second participant. Overall, seems like a success. 
 What we would have changed:
  • Maybe more signs explaining what is going on, so people don't think we are just street performers and walk by. We would have found help even sooner if our intentions were clear.
Final Thoughts:
  • A fun and successful project!
