calculations (Average speed & Maximum Velocity)
Due to errors in timing, my personal schedule, and other factors, I was not able to compare my times with other students times. My car was on the heavier side, which I was expecting because I was aiming more for an aesthetically pleasing car rather than a racecar that was the most optimized for the task at hand. However, I worked with what I had and attempted to create a solution that would combine the best of both worlds, and I made the car as aerodynamic as I could while still staying true and accurate to the reference/inspiration car.
