Week 8 post 1

5/28/12- This week was a very productive week. To start off we soldered the leads of the wires to the alligator clips and tested them to make sure that they worked. Next we created the compartment that will house the empty soda can and tested it to make sure that it would be able to keep the can contained in case of a roll-over accident. This back extension worked well and added very little weight to the car so we think that the design is will work well.

Next class we plan on reattaching our motor and gears, putting on the wheels, and doing extensive testing in preparation for the race at the Franklin institute.
