2014 FSAE-Australiasia, Most Fabulous push bar comp

[Power_Walker]

It has been a bit of a trademark of the Aus comp to have the bragging rights associated with the most eye catching push bar.

2013 saw a set up in push bar design, with everything from floral bicycle baskets to horse heads.

So why not, like FSG's best legs comp, actually make this a thing?

Presenting,
The 2014 FSAE-Australasia Most Fabulous push bar competition!!!!

Not sure if prizes will be awarded, we will see.

Let's start this off by getting a catalog of last years attempts.

Have a good one,

Count me in. I did some quick sketches, however I got side tracked and they are F1 influenced.

Question: Can the pushbar be powered?

[Power_Walker]

All push bars must remain within the FSAE 2014 regulation.
Specifically Article 12 and D11.7, which unfortunately puts payed to the motorized pushbar

The last year I competed at Michigan a team won the pushbar competition with a fully operational and free standing TV with Mario Kart, so no offense to the land down under, but sounds like you have some catching up to do. :)

Mario Kart? Seriously? Looks like the jokes on you.

This is a pushbar at Werribee 2013 I photographed. Looks like a functional design.

Glad Adelaide's pushbar has already made it on here! (Jonny's photo). A lot of work was put in to it for pretties

I believe Northern Illinois had that pushbar last year, pretty sure they were challenging other teams to races while sitting in line for tech.
