This retro-styled mini-bob is a simple design but it offers a lot of fun! Unfortunately I couldn't make a video up to now but here are two videos of the original bob:

Choose your team, print and assemble your mini-bob, build your own bobsled run and share it with others: http://www.thingiverse.com/groups/bobsleigh-challenge
ASSEMBLING:
You also find a litte construction manual in the main-picture of the mini-bob. Beside the printed parts you need the following materials: glue, 8 screws (20 mm long; 3 x 16) and some weights (sinkers for fishing work great, or something else that's heavy).
For the assembling take the following steps and compare the pictures:
- Combine the seal and the top-part. (use glue)
- Fill up the bottom-parts empty segments with something heavy like lead (for example sinkers for fishing).
- Combine the bottom- and the top-part
- Attach the eight screws (3 x 16) to the bob
- Attach your flag to the flag-base (use glue)
- Attach the flag to the bob (use glue)
- Attach the visors to the pilots heads
- Attach the pilots to the bob (use glue)
- Attach the cockpit to the bob (use glue)
- Use sand-paper to make the surface of the bottom-part smooth. After the sandpaper you can use an old jeans: rob it over the cloth until the bottom surface gets shiny. That minimises the friction and your mini-bob gets faster.

Team flags:
There is also a top-part available in the files with no flag. If you want to choose a flag, print the normal top-part and the flag-base as well. Then choose one of the following team flags:

If a specific flag is missing and you want me to create one, or if you designed a new one and want me to link it in the description, just write a comment or a message.
TIP: Using an empty bottle makes the building of the bobsled run verry easy :-)
Help creating new designs for the pilots (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1945717) or the bob and let me know if you want me to add them here.
Have fun and remember....don't eat yellow snow
