Featured Project: One-handed Bobsled

Virginia Tech + Army Veteran David Snypes, Jr.

  • Para athletes with upper-limb limitations couldn't control a bobsled, restricting access to the sport.

  • The Virginia Tech team created a device enabling one-handed control of both runners.

  • This innovation expands bobsledding opportunities for a new group of para athletes.

A bobsled that can be controlled entirely with one arm.
