Ser her, ja. Stadig nye nytteområder for betong!

... og den har jeg vært med å bygge på back in the days. Vi vant faktisk Nationals med den på slutten av 90-tallet. Dette er faktisk en stor konkurranse blant alle Universitetene i USA, med først regionale, så statlige og til slutt nasjonale konkurranser. NASA er bl.a. inne med store penger i dette.
