With most teams ready, it's time to do full runs down the hill.

Team Piki's test is complete without any injuries to the cart or operators. Time for Team Kablooi to go for a run.

While Team Kablooi didn't make it all the way, they had a good run and enjoyed the ride. Team Nooi had some further complications, and by the time they could attempt a test, it's pretty dark.

Conversing over our successes and failures of the day, we gather around the fire pit. We share memories from the past week and enjoy each other's company for one last night. Once the fire dies, we walk back to the conference center and watch the videos of the tests from earlier in the day. Tired from a long day, we head off to sleep.
