What is a Kinetic Sculpture?

Kinetic Sculptures are all-terrain, human-powered, art sculptures, engineered to race over road, water, mud and sand. They are amazing works of art; many are animated with moving parts like blinking eyes, opening mouths, and heads that move side to side. These machines are usually made from recycled materials. Each team has a theme and consists of pilots, pit crew and support crew.
