Car Transport Evaluation (Individual Electronic Assignment)

1. What did you learn about the design of your car and the ability to cover 4 meters?

I found that my design was good enough to go exactly 4 meters and a little bit more!

2. What materials should go into a car and why?

Big wheels which gives it more distance.
stable wheels so that it doesnt slow down car.
hook screws to attatch to axel so that wheel moves freely.

3. What is important to know about

a. the wheels of the car?

if it is strait, alligned, stable, and not wobbly

b. The mass of the car?

it is light and not heave

c. The length of the car?

a short body leaves the rubberband with not enough pull to make the rubberband work and a long length doesnt give the rubberband enough room to wind up the tire.

d. The steering of the car?

that it goes strait for maximun distance

4. What would you do differently next time?

Make my big tire alligned with my bosy and other wheels so that it goes in a strait direction and change the screw i attatched to the rubberband becuase somethimes it made it so that the rubberband doesnt leave the screw.
