The Task
Our task was to create a vehicle that traveled 5 meters and stopped right at the 5 meter mark. The vehicle also has to move 2 rolls of pennies which is 250 grams as quickly as possible and be very cost efficient. In the vehicle we are not allowed to have batteries or gas or anything that powers the vehicle.
About Our Vehicle
Our vehicle had a wooden frame that had PVC pipes glued to the bottom and the wooden dowels that acted like dowels went through them. Our wheels were made of cardboard in the middle and then had 1 CD on either side of the cardboard. We glued the wheels to the wooden dowel and then the vehicle was ready to go.
Reflection
One thing that I did well on in this project is collaboration. I did well in collaboration because we all worked together very well to build this project and make it go 5 meters. All of the work that we did was split up very evenly and we had a great product in the end. Another thing that I did well on in this project was being a conscientious learner. I was good at being a consciousness learner because I managed my time well and I prioritized the main things that needed to be done. On the other hand one thing that I could have done better on is creativity. I could have been more creative because the design that we chose was very generic and was a very common thing to build. One other thing that I could have done better on was communication. I could have done better on communication because we could have talked more about something before we put it on the vehicle. Overall this was a fun project to learn more about how we can make better vehicles.
