Obstacle Course

here's an awesome and challenging electric wheelchair obstacle course that can be set up in a parking lot or grassy field:


Items Needed:

Traffic cones

Plastic barriers (e.g. construction site barriers)

Plywood sheets

Wooden pallets

Ramp

Pool noodles

Large inflatable ball

Chalk or spray paint for marking lines



Layout:

Start by marking a starting line with chalk or spray paint.

Place traffic cones in a zigzag pattern, with enough space in between for contestants to maneuver their wheelchairs.

Set up plastic barriers to create a "tunnel" that contestants must navigate through.

Place plywood sheets on top of the wooden pallets to create a ramp, and place the ramp at a steep angle.

Set up a series of pool noodles on the ground in a curved pattern for contestants to weave through.

Place a large inflatable ball in the middle of the course for contestants to maneuver around.

Mark a finish line with chalk or spray paint.



Instructions:

Contestants must start at the starting line and complete the course as quickly as possible.

Contestants must navigate through the zigzag pattern of traffic cones without touching any cones.

Contestants must navigate through the "tunnel" of plastic barriers without knocking them over.

Contestants must go up and down the ramp without getting stuck or tipping over.

Contestants must weave through the pool noodles without knocking any of them over.

Contestants must maneuver around the inflatable ball without touching it.

Contestants must cross the finish line to complete the course.

Contestants will be disqualified if they touch any of the obstacles, fail to complete the course, or take too long to complete the course.



Strategy and Tips:

Take time to plan your route before starting the course.

Use slow and controlled movements to navigate through the obstacles.

Use the handrails on the wheelchair to maintain stability while going up and down the ramp.

Keep your eyes on the course ahead to anticipate obstacles and avoid collisions.

Practice maneuvering your wheelchair in tight spaces and around obstacles before attempting the course.

Use the momentum of the wheelchair to your advantage when going up the ramp.

Take breaks as needed to rest and refocus.

Stay calm and focused to avoid making mistakes.



Overall, this obstacle course is designed to test the maneuverability and control of electric wheelchairs, while providing a fun and challenging experience for contestants. With practice and strategy, contestants can complete the course with speed and precision
