We have been working on these vehicles for a couple weeks now, and we have been making some progress. We used a wooden chassis, from a piece of fence, two C.D's for the front wheels and two records for the back wheels. We used wooden dowels for our axles and pipe holders to attach our axles to our body. We used hot glue to hold everything together, and we also put wax on our axles.
We originally had fishing line for our string, but it wasn't holding in place very well, so we decided to use normal yarn-like string instead. This worked better, and with a few test runs we have been able to get it to go 5 meters. Jennifer, Dylan, Austin and I are planning on working during some noon hours in order to get it to go farther.
