Cost, Benefits, and Calculations

Cost 

For this project, we used many materials, the materials we used included plywood, CDs, wood dowels, nails, screws, and sheets of metal. Listed below are the costs of everything we used. 

Plywood 12 ½ x 5 ½ - $17.35                                    8 CDs - $1.84

Wood Dowels 5 - 3 ½ - $2.98                                    4 Nails - $0.16

1 Screw - $0.3                                                             Two 7  x ½ wood dowels - $6.6 

Metal sheets 1 ½ x 1 ½ - $14.48                              PVC- $1.15

 3 Rubber Bands-  $0.99                                           Total Cost $45.85

Benefits 

We were eventually able to modify our vehicle to get to the required distance. After clearly analyzing our technique, we repeated the same process numerous times and were able to maintain consistent results. In addition to this, our vehicle is also very cost efficient. It only cost us $45.85 to make our original prototype, and we can easily reduce the cost even more if we buy material in bulk amounts or partner with popular material distributors.
