TOM+GREY

This is Team Tom Grey!!

"Wal-mart... do they like make walls there?" -Paris Hilton " I get to go to lots of overseas places, like Canada." -Brittany Spears 3.18.09 9:00am Our car is called the Bolt. It's gold with red trimming. We attached our motor and our wheels last week, but when we attached our guide, it went farther down than our front wheel, so our car dragged. We took the front apart and we are now attaching a new, bigger wheel. This class period we are hoping to attach our solar panel. 3.18.09 9:30 Our team members are Sasha, Sydney, Mikaela, Connor, and Lydia. Sasha is in the hospital so he has not been with us for a long period of time. But we are holding him in the light. 3.18.09 9:45am We are now attaching the wires that will connect our solar panel. We think we will have one on the front and one on the back that will be bendable and easy to manipulate in case of sun position. Our car has been rolling for about a week now, and it's a little wobbly, but we are working on it.

Our frame is made of T-cor. We don't have any supports on our frame, but so far it has held up. (knock on wood:)

3.24.09 9:49 am Today we are attaching our solar panel and filling out our registration. We decided that Lydia is our team captain. We are worried and unsure if the wobbly wires will hold up the solar panel. We used to velcro to attach the wires to our solar panel.

3.24.09 10:10am-We just tested our solar car with the panel, and it's not moving at all. Oh well. WAIT!!! It goes!!!! It's REALLY FAST.. We calculated the speed to be about 4 1/2 MPH.

3.30.09 10:00 am- We took our car apart and then put it back together because it had some technical difficulties with our gears. We tested our solar panel and it was great! So we wrote our names on it. This is how are car looks right now.

4.13.08 9:53 am-We are finishing up our car from where we left off. It still has some problems but we are fixing them. We're almost done.

4.21.09 9:53 am-Today Connor broke our motor. Then we got a new one and it broke again. Yay. Sydney is trying to put the second new motor on. Why is our car so dumb?

4.22.09 10:02 am-Our car runs great without the solar panel. But with the Solar panel it doesn't go on the ground. But when we pick up the car the wheels spin rapidly. So we put it back down and it stops. GRR. We are also taking away the legos and using wires instead. Cuz legos suck and they don't work.//

4.28.09 10:00 am-We're trying on of Mikaela's ideas today. To lose the wires and put the solar panel on top of the coke can. It probably won't work but whatever.

5.4.09 10:05 am-Trying to get our car to move! And work!!
