Kenny's Magnificent Machine







My Post




This is my post for Machine Mania. I decided I would build a flat car. I wanted to make a car that could shoot off without any resistance. If my car has a lot of resistance, then I think it would go slower than usual. But without it, then there is a BIG chance of me winning. I also wanted to build a flat car so then it could be lighter then usual. But since the motor is heavy, it will then be lighter then the other cars. If it is lighter, then it would travel easier up a hill. But I am still going to do the SUV raceway. I am going to input two motors and connect them to two batteries.
After that, I am going to place it on the bottom of the base and hot glue them to the base. Eventually, I am going to connect the wheels to the motors and add some designs to like a rear spoiler and a few resistors. Then that would be the end of my machine.

Here's a cool machine link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machines


Race Results:
There are a few race results maybe you would like to see them:
Me: 3.10 (uphill course)
Curtice: 2.69 (flat course)

Things that I learned in the race

I learned not to worry during the race or then something will go wrong. If you don't worry, then everything will go smooth
