help i need to build a car
i know this should be in off topic, i just placed it in here also so that i can get a little more help. hopefully all you techs can help me out.
i have a physics project due in march but need help getting started. i need to build a car that can climb a hill and also push another car down a hill, the car needs to be fast and also strong. the mission is to design and build a vehicle that will climb a hill, cross a crest, and prevent your opponent from crossing in the opposite direction. the objective is to end the match with your vehicle and your opponents vehicle on the other side of the hill. the vehicle can be no longer than 12in and no wider than 8 in.
the materials i can use are only:
2 coffee cans, 4 plastic beverage bottles, 8 rubber bands, 2 mouse traps, 4 lead sinkers, 12x24x3/4in plywood, 4 jar lids, 2 wire coat hangers, 3ft wooden dowel, 12x12in piece of cardboard, 3 foot piece of string, any metal fastners used only to fasten, and any glue or rubber cement.
i need help trying to get the car to move fast enough but still be strong enough to push my opponents car down a hill.
