Transcript of Maps from IRONSHEEP 2013

What is Iron Sheep?• The event seeks to mimic the format of

the “Iron Chef” television series by challenging teams to produce meaningful analysis and fun, evocative mash-ups from the same sets of user-generated, geo-coded data within a four hour time frame.

• The goal is to provide a semi-structured environment where participants can socialize, work and learn in a fun yet socially meaningful project.

Team Ram: Using Argentine Racing Sheep as a Peri-Urban Transport System

Premise

• We are exploring the possibility of riding Argentinian Racing Sheep as a means to bypass the gridlocks. The average speed for a Argentinian Racing Sheep is 75 mph according to Yahoo Answers UK and Ireland. This allows for a quick and viable option to pass through Los Angeles freeway’s during rush hour.

Benefits of Sheep Travel

- Cheaper than a car- Less c02 emissions- Faster travel time during

traffic- Tastier than gasoline- Help maintain Los Angeles
