About the Car
We are from Timber Lakes Elementary and our team is called the Chromosphere Car. We called our car the Chromosphere Car because the chromosphere is part of the sun’s atmosphere. We think our car is a winner because of its specials features like how we added 3D printed wheels at the back of our car and how we angled the solar panel to catch more sunlight. We are using some recycled materials like the bottle cap that holds the ping pong ball. Another reusable material is the yard sign parts that prop up the solar panel and the motor. Our challenges while building this car were that we needed perfect measuring to ensure our car would run properly. Somethings that show we are a great team include we’re very hard working and there was a lot of teamwork.
