Gravity Cars

In this project students are creating their own car that will traverse down a ramp. After they finish their car they will take data to make sure it is within a preset error from an ideal frictionless car. If not, they will iterate through the design process again and reduce their car's friction or redesign it from scratch. After their car meets the standard, they will have to figure out where it needs to start on the ramp to tie my car.
