CO2 Dragster Competition

The first semester of robotics is dedicated to preparing for the CO2 Dragster Competition, made and hosted by Perry High School. Students will, either individually or with a partner, design, test, and manufacture a wooden CO2 powered race car.

Students will utilize CAD to create their designs, use CFD to test the aerodynamics of their design, and then use CAM to make their design with a CNC router. The competition is held at Perry in November/December.
