PowerWheels 2014 Aesthetics/Skit

Vehicle Aesthetics

To do

• Clean car
• Round up performers for the skit
• Acquire help to get the lights, radio/walkie-talkie, etc working.
• Figure out how the smoke and sound is going to work for the skit.
• Decorate car and helmet
• Define budget
• Shop

Ideas

• Sound/music
• Parachute (Chassis/brake/steering group?)
• Pyrotechnics
• Working lights or reflectors
• Something pops out of the hood
• Stickers/decals
• 3D printed keeper (hood ornament?)
• Working buttons, levers, and doodads
  • Example: CB Radio talks to the pit crew
• Cushion for the seat and seat back
• Plug or cap-off gas tank for extra name space
• Native American theme
  • Sticks, feathers, and other pieces of nature
  • Leather and beads
  • Tomahawk
  • Animal horns and/or bones on the hood
  • Driver w/ a head dress or mohawk, maybe dressed in native garb
• Animal print

Skit

• "Power" dance or "Race" dance (instead of a rain dance)
• People dance around the car, then the hood pops and some sort of spirit comes out (with smoke)
• Maybe the spirit should talk?
• Then the car revs and the lights flash
