Task One: Create A Fast Prototype

Task: You will create between 3-5 Prototype Vehicles.

Goal: To create the fastest vehicle possible.

Specifications: Each of your vehicles must have:

A RCX Box r
A stable structure connecting the RCX Box to wheel axles. r
A motor and a drive system that makes the wheels move. r

Testing: Once you have created a prototype you must test it at the SPEED TESTING LAB (Remember, your prototype must be checked with the Quality Design Supervisor first!)

Prototype #	Type of System Used	Quality Supervisor Check	Time in Seconds
1	1	1	Trial One	Trial Two	Trial Three	Average Time	Speed= Distance /Time
1	1	1	1	1	1	1	1
2	1	1	1	1	1	1	1
3	1	1	1	1	1	1	1
4(optional)onal)	111	1	1	1	1	1	1
5(optional)al)	1	1	1	1	1	1	1

Testing Observations:

1. Which drive system went the fastest? Why?

2. Which was the easiest to build? Why?

3. Which was the hardest to build? Why?

4. Which one would you recommend to other engineers?
