Cal Poly Universities Rose Float : ウィキペディア英語版 | Cal Poly Universities Rose Float
The Cal Poly Universities Tournament of Roses Parade Float or Cal Poly Rose Float is a yearly program which builds a parade float entry that is included in the annual event each morning of January 1 during the Rose Parade in Pasadena, California, unless the date falls on a Sunday. Two public universities sponsor this joint venture, the California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly San Luis Obispo) located in San Luis Obispo and the California State Polytechnic University, Pomona (Cal Poly Pomona) in Pomona. These two institutions have continuously participated in the tournament since 1949; winning the Award of Merit in their first year. The Cal Poly floats have led in introducing technology to the Parade, including the first use of hydraulics for animation in 1968, the first use of computer-controlled animation in 1978, the first use of fiber optics in 1982, and innovated animated deco with the 2014 entry. As of January 1, 2015, the floats have won 55 awards. This program is one of the longest consecutive running self-built entries in the parade, as well as the only "self built" float designed and constructed entirely by students year-round on both campuses. They compete against professional float builders who manufacture entries for their sponsors, many of them with development budgets approaching $1 million.〔http://www.firstmarkcontrols.com/pmc1299.htm〕 This tradition continues today and marks the partnership between the two campuses. ''Road & Track'' magazine did a road test of the Cal Poly Universities Rose Float as part of their annual April issue of unusual vehicles. ==History==
