> What's a Braille Rally? It's a contest in which cars leave a starting point at a recorded time, and travel a designated route to a finish point. Each rally team consists of a sighted driver and a "navigator" who is blind or visually impaired. The navigator reads the route directions and clues which are written in braille. The event tests the braille literacy of the navigator, since the driver can only follow the directions provided by the navigator. The route begins and ends at INL, with designated checkpoints along the way. Points are awarded based on the time it takes the team to get to each checkpoint. The team that completes the course with the most points wins!
