Week 4

This week in power drive the team has started outlining their full scale prototypes. They are making their cars to full scale on paper first. From there they will adjust the measurements to make sure that the drivers and parts will fit in the car. Two teams are working on two different cars. The reason they do this is so that they can make adjustments to the car before they actually start building the actual prototype. This saves time and money. The designers of the two cars are M. Wellman and J. Hennig. The cars that were chosen had the less drag and force put on them in the wind tunnel. Both teams are taking a different approach at designing the car. The group using J. Hennig’s model is creating the car from a side view. The group using M. Wellman’s design is creating the model from the bottom view. To see how they are the team is doing check out the blog next week!
