Steam Car Demo

Today we had the demo for our steam car; our car did extremely well. We got 1st place for Fastest Steam Car, Most Aggressive, and Best System. We also got runner up for Fastest Start. I am happy that we won so many awards, but I wish that we would have won the Straightest award. I think that our car did not always go in a perfectly straight line because it was going to fast. If we would have tightened the wheel a little bit it would have slowed down, but I think that would have helped it to go faster. I also wish we had time to paint the car so that it looked better and also to make modifications to it in order to improve performance.

Here is a video of one of the races and a picture of the car with all the awards:

Making the Steam Car

Making the car took a couple weeks, and we ran into a few problems. Probably the biggest problem was not having enough time in lab. I wish that we had more time to work on the car, maybe another week, so that we could modify the design to make it better.

Here is another video of the steam car:

We finally finished our steam car and it works!
