Have you ever tried teapot racing?

The aim of Teapot Racing is to remotely drive your racing teapot around the set course through all obstacles in as quick a time as possible. A racing teapot consists of a “teapot” mounted on a radio-controlled chassis and remotely controlled by the Driver.

Of course, my racing steampunk teapot creation needed a driver. And so it became Totoro’s steampunk teapot racer.

Although my remote control car was 4WD, Totoro did not prove be a very good driver. He won the award for Best Total Disaster. Perhaps next time, Totoro!
