The 3-ft.-wide, leaf-shaped i-unit is nearly 6 ft. tall when positioned upright but drops its center of gravity and reclines into a sports-car position for traveling at speeds of up to 25 m.p.h.

Marotta ’06 passes around digital prints of the totem he has been working on at the site. Marotta built a Plexiglass box, five feet tall and one foot wide, with a pyramidal top.
