Reflection

So far in class, I have sketched two designs for my electric motor car which would be able to go as fast as possible. It needs to be light so as not to cause friction on the track, but not to light that it will flip over. The first car that I designed has a triangle shaped part at the front of it which is a feature that is suppose to make the car go faster. There is a specific name for it but I forgot what it is called. One of the previous cars had it, but all I did to my design was made it bigger. I think it will really help my car go faster. I have also decided that I am probably going to use Coreflute material (cardboard used for retail signs) for the base of the car as it is strong, yet very light. I might design a few more things and sketch them at actually size with measurements before I go into the work shop and start making it.
