Here is a Picture of my Partner and I’s 1st Sketched out Plan:

Here is a Picture of my Partner and I’s 1st Design Idea:

1. What do you like about your initial design?

I like the idea that the spool (wheel) is in the front of the design. This way, the wheel gives the rest of the design the force/speed it needs to go the farthest and fastest.

2. What has been challenging about the initial design?

It has been challenging to find a way to inncorporate a rubber band into our design.

3. How well did your racer perform in the first race? Did it go far? Fast?

The racer performed decently. This is because it went kind of far, and it went kind of fast. The speed was 60.33 inches per second.

4. How will you modify your design for the second race? What variables do you feel will affect how far and fast the racer goes? Why?

The design will be modified because we will include the idea of using a rubber band (which is part of the requirments for this challenge). The variables that will affect how far and fast the racer goes are the spool and rubber band. This is because the rubber band determines how far the design will go. The spool determines how fast the design will.

5. What have been your strengths and challenges during the design process?

Some strengths are that my partner and I get along very well. We also have good ideas. A challenge is fidning out a way to incorporate the rubber band into our design.

6. What questions do you have?
