First Prop Car!

Sean, Stan and Trenton have completed their first prototype. It jams!

If this was your prototype, what would you change/work on next?

"Coming in Hot!!!"

Marco, Hunter, Rafe and Andrew nearly took themselves out!

Process:

Watch the "Scratch Built" video below.
-Generate a list of materials you anticipate using based on their design.

Brainstorm solutions for your own design.
-Sketch three possible designs.
-Call out 3 key features on each design.

Build a Manila Folder prototype.
-Why would this be helpful to your build?
-Assess results and incorporate feedback.

Build a First Foamboard Prototype without electronics.
-Your design must have dihedral in the wings.
-Test glide characteristics of First Foamboard Prototype.
-Assess results and incorporate feedback.
-You must demonstrate that your design will glide (not plummet) in an underpowered scenario.
-Balancing is key.
-Tune design and weighting to find center of gravity.
-Mark your center of gravity!

Load Electronics.
-Maintain center of gravity!
-Conduct powered test flight. Rad!!!
-Assess results and incorporate feedback.

Share Results
-Write up Process
-Generate material to share Product.

Third Period is soon finishing up the RC Prop Car Challenge (aka "The Hunger Games"). Here's a look at what the next step will be in the RC series:

Watch Out Now!

A few of our Engineers from the projects class nearly took out Mrs. Edingfield!:
