Today we have started by reading the spec sheet and creating the base of our car. We talked about how we want our design and started to design it in Tinker Cad. We also thought of our plan for our project. Lastly, we made the axel holes for the car. 

November 16, 2020: 

Today we were brainstorming ideas to make our car light and on track. We are also thinking of making two designs a strength and a speed car. We test the speed and strength by using a stopwatch and will see what the best car is.

November 17, 2020:

Today we fully completed our design and we 3d printed our car. We put in our axel holes into our car. After that, we sent the car to 3d printer Os.

November 20, 2020:

Today we did the last requirements and finally printed. We added the screw holes and made the line hook. On Monday we will put the car together and see how we can make the car better and stronger.

November 24, 2020:

Today we got our 3d print. The problems with version 1 were that the motor holes are in the wrong place, and the walls are too thin. The motor holes are in the wrong place because they inflict with where the axles are supposed to go.  We are currently fixing it on TinkerCad and are getting ready to print again.
