Finally! After making 4 cars! After 4 tiring days of preparing!~~~~we're prepare for the NJSSR'08. Well to go there and waste time in fact-_-! Gathered at Singapore Poly at 9 am and wasted 2 hours just for the sun to 'appear' to start the race. Making matters worse, it rained and was extremely sunny after the shower and it rained heavily after that! What a waste of time waiting for the weather to get better. Changed our car motor to a 1.5V motor and it the wheels were spinning even though there's little sunlight~which is good, unlike the 3V which needed strong sunlight. However, it just couldn't move up slopes~reason for losing*SOB* We made a total of 4 cars and just keep improving them or waste effort by making a new car? The car moves fast and gains speed every second. But it's all the damn slope fault that causes it ti stop moving! ARGHH!!! We put it on rough surface and could move! What does this proves??~don't include slope in a solar powered car race...
Ta Da! Our final car
Ready?
Go!Okay. It's enough....this car just can't go up the slope T.T
See! The wheels can run fast! Maybe next time there should be a category where wheels speed are being tested and giving an award to the car that has the most revoultion per minute.
