The USA Para Bobsled Skeleton Federation has a VA military development program for injured US Veterans for the development of national team and world class para bobsled pilots (drivers). If amputees have a running leg, they use a spike to help them dig into the ice when they push the bobsled. However, the angle currently does not align correctly, causing the spike to improperly grip the ice, and the athletes to slip and slide as they push the bobsled. The Challenge is to create a push foot that has the appropriate angle to push the sled and will allow the athlete to grip the ice and not slip when they’re pushing the sled.
