Design Challenge - Regular Propeller Car

Making Process

Journal/Reflection

Our team did not follow Gabe's step-by-step instruction to make the propeller car as Gabe was on our team and he is a living step-by-step instruction manual. In addition, both Nadia and I have created successful propeller cars in the past. Therefore, we did not feel the need to consult with the instructions. Our making steps of how we created the body and the propeller are illustrated above. Those illustrations are essentially another representation of the step-by-step instructions Gabe created that the other teams followed. Though we didn't follow the step-by-steps that Gabe created, we completed the same tasks in the same manner.

Sadly, our car was not able to hit the green door at the end of the hallway. But, it was able to hit a green door(Mr. York's door). The end of the video was cut off(phone glitch) but the propeller car eventually hit Mr. York's classroom door. The car was unable to hit the green door at the end of the hallway because the car kept on turning right.

If we were to ever improve on this car, we would continue to improve on the propeller(as that is one reason why the car would shift right) and make 100% sure that the wheels are perfect.
