Robotics

=== On Friday brad and I made the final adjustments to our car and when we got down to ten minutes till the big race and we found problems with the car. I ripped appart the car and I found multiple problems and so I started with a new design. The new design was thiner and shorter for better performance and fixed up all the parts hanging low to the ground and put a new set of wheels on and they were a lot bigger for faster result in the race. We got down to five minutes and I was still finishing up, I was nervous but I still hadn't finished the adjustments so when I got down to one minute I finally finished and gave it a run and all I had to do was fix up the tight wheels and after that we had no time to run it. We got to the race on time but we weren't sure how it would run but the end results were good and we made it to the finals and only just won so we got lucky. === ||  ||   ||
 * ==At robotics we have learnt lots about cars and what makes them go fast and slow including putting new wheels on that are big or small. My partner Brad and I have made a car that will go both fast and go really long way before it stops and we think we might use it for the buggy we will make later on and if not we will definitely keep some ideas. We raced everyone and ours won and we then went and made it better again. At one stage during robotics I had a race with Dean and I won by about 3 metres but Dean still did a good job on building his car. I have thought about making the wheels bigger or smaller and I am going to make the two front wheels bigger and make it more stable by putting two long bricks on the front.== ||  ||   ||
