Incoming freshmen design amphibious vehicles

Opening Week at UMR culminates with the annual Project X competition, a remote-controlled car race through campus. Classes don't officially begin until Monday, but incoming freshmen have been on campus all week to get acclimiated to college life. Mostly they're just having fun. This year, teams of freshmen designed remote-controlled vehicles that were capable of maneuvering through various hazards. The catch was that each vehicle had to carry some sort of barge that could in turn carry the vehicle across the "River of Doom."
