Recorder Race
The May 2005 issue of Popluar Science has an article on Munich’s annual Recorder Race.
It’s a competition of classic “Walkman/Boom Boxes/Ghettoblasters” that
have been modified with wheels, gears, spoilers, etc. so that they can
race each other down a 15m gym floor powered by their tape drive
mechanisms. Obviously they would all want to run in “fast forward”
mode. Here are the Recorder Race mission and rules.
