We had to bring in extra security for the event, but I feel it was worth it.

Why not right here?
Here's a few concept cars that were made during the ULV2002 building period,
but not enetered in the competition:
Jonathan was playing around more with the vehicle-itself-is-one-giant-wheel
concept. We were wondering how hard it would be to make a vehicle where the
whole thing rolled, but the driver stayed upright as it moved. Here was his
quick solution:

My other idea for this year's competition was to create an "invisible car"
out of only transparent white materials. This is the closest I could come:

And this highly disturbing creation was wrought by Mr. Royhook himself:

I'd be interested in seeing other novel ideas people have for vehicles!
