Our Unique Wind Car

In the class people in groups of one to five and I was with Zach, we had to make wind cars with paper and card board as the base materials. Then you got three to five bottle caps for the wheels, skewers and straws then if you wanted anything else you asked Megan if you could bring it. After drawing a diagram and making an idea that wouldn't be copied, we started. The first thing we did was draw a sloth on the main paper for no reason. Next I made a big sail since we new we were going to have a big base. After the sail and main paper we made stilts so our car was taller than others. These were connected to the wheel through a straw on top of the wheel straw. The wheels are made by putting a skewer through two bottle caps and a straw, this allows the skewer to rotate around in the straw and the lids. Then you connect the straw to the base. I had trouble making the stilts stay in the same place since the hot glue had ran out, this meant I had to use tape. In the end the stilts ended up really good because them being kinda lose gave me a good angle and suspension. Here is my car and some races.
