Sketches, Design, and Explanations

 

These are quick sketches of our pre- car planning. Most of it was about how we would implement the PVC and dowel system to reduce friction. In addition, we knew that we would have a normal box as the body of the car. This is what was planned out. However, many other aspects of the car were implemented based on what materials were available.

Re-use: Wheels, Front dowel, String
New: Cardboard, PVC, back dowel

The main dowel of the previous car was unusable. Therefore, we used what we could from the previous car. Although it was car improvements, we had to construct a new car body using new materials in order to implement our improvements but we did re-use wheels, string, and the front dowel.

Planning: Strings and glue kept cardboard together. Three layered cardboard and dowel underneath stabilized car. Improved rotational system as mentioned earlier. Steering and braking system will remain the same.
