Onwards!

After the success of the Siege Engines and a good research session last week on designs and templates for our Wind Turbines - our next project started this week.

The aim is to design a motorised vehicle to try and compete in the following challenges
  • To climb the steepest slope
  • To Travel the fastest
  • To carry the heaviest load
  • To look the best!
All of the Chassis, motors and power packs are the same; but how it's built is up to each individual!

Today's initial build was great with some good stuff and great idea visible!

Watch this space for updates and photos!
