When constructing the car we ran into into some issues with the electric components and getting the gears to correctly connect to each other and properly get the car to move. A few days before the submission date we were able to complete.

To calculate the best gear ratios to use, we learned about gear ratios. We learned that for good speed we want a 2 : 1 gear ratio by dividing the driven gear to the driving gear.
