Pushcart Trial Rules
[ Home | Categories | About Pushcarts | Timetable ]

•     A Sprint relay and an Endurance Relay will test all aspects of vehicle design, construction and reliability as well as student fitness and teamwork.

•     The sprint relay will be conducted over a 50 metre straight track with each team member having a turn of pushing and driving.

•     Points will be allocated on the basis of time.

•     The Endurance Relay will be conducted on a circular street with each team member having a turn of pushing and driving. Each person will be required to push for approximately 250 metres and then drive for approximately 250 metres before change-over.

•     Teams will be required to participate in both the Sprint and Endurance relay.

•     Power for the vehicle must come solely from the single team member who is pushing the pushcart.

•     The pusher may ride on the back of the cart while scooting along.

•     Ultimate success on the track will depend as much upon fitness and teamwork as on the design of the vehicle.
