Frame: For the frame of our car we are you foam core with some support (like wood) glued to it, to make it reinforced. We originally wanted to use T-core but

used it all, so we were left with roam core.

Wheels: To get energy from the motor to the wheels, we attached a gear to the motor. The gear is attached to another gear, which then makes the wheels spin. When trying to create our car we decided that this was one of the most logical and practical things to do. We wanted to use the big wheels in the back, because that way it would like slice the wind in half. We decided to use the little wheel in the front because it looks cool. Speaking of wheels we are using CD's for the back and a small DVD in the front (see picture). To reduce the friction of the wheels we are going to use straws. Out of all of our options the straws were the smoothest yet the strongest.

Solar Panel: Our solar panel will be horizontally attached to our car. The solar panel will also be on an adjustable platform, that will be able to rotate to fit to where the sun is. We don't have our solar panel, but when we do, it will look super cool!

April 13th 2009- Today we are attaching our can! Here are our ideas for putting the can on our car: 1. Wrapping a lead around our can. Then you attach the little clipper things to the back of the car. 2. Super glue 3. Tape? 4. Twin 5. Rope

April 21st 2009-Today we are trying to attach a solar panel! We seem to be behind with all of the rest of the groups, but thats okay. The can is now attached to the front of the of the car (see picture). Somebody took our solar panel, so now we have to use a crapy old one! We hooked it up and it got three volts though, so we should be okay.
