Yesterday was the 21st annual Roth Regatta. The Roth Regatta is one of the most anticipated events at Stony Brook University.

the boat's name: Ice Ice Baby

Students attempt to race across Roth pond in boats made out of only cardboard and duct tape.

Cardozo and Toscanini's boat

Some of these boats were designed for show, while others were built with speed in mind.

Rock'Em Sock'Em Robots boat

The theme of this year's Roth Regatta was Pirates vs. Robots vs. Ninjas.

a Spiderman boat

A lot of effort were put into these boats.

these boats sank and were abandoned by their crew

Unfortunately, not all of these made it past the starting line. Boats made out of cardboard tend to sink.

Mr. Potato Head!

During the race, the crew of this boat swapped Mr. Potato Head's pirate outfit with a robot one!

I took some videos of the event and uploaded them to my webspace. Enjoy!
