Wow! This was our first Pinewood Derby and how cool it was! The boy went pretty low tech with his orange special - we needed to add weight so we went with batteries for effect. Many of the other entries were seriously customized, but we were glad just to get it in on time - minutes before registration ended we were still drilling cutouts for the batteries!
See if you can find the orange one and the porcupine which won an award.
Even setting up the track the night before was a ton of fun. The boy was the only cub there and he got to test the track over and over with 4 old cars. He even used the remote-control starter which opened the gates. We were out until 10:30 that night. This was the outcome.
A USB camera broadcast each race and software automatically tracks the outcomes. Although it's disappointing not to win, with pizza and pizazz it's a total blast.
Bonus: some more cars; check out the roller coaster.
