Maker Faire Bay Area 2009
Hennepin Crawler

Location:   Steampunk  Grass F   

Four very BIG wheels and four riders pedal a handmade kinetic conveyance of whimsy known as the "Hennepin Crawler" by Krank-Boom-Clank.

The Crawler represents a melding of alternative transportation innovation, human-powered kinetic sculpture, recycling functional garbage, and a prankster's notion of inflicting bewildering beauty upon an unsuspecting public.
