Week 2, Day 1 – Building the Car

Day 6 planned schedule:

  • Build 50% of car.

Day 6 actual schedule:

  • Build all of of car.

The participants surprised us by building the whole car in one session. One team even finished in 1.5 hours. The rest of the session was spent using the remote control to move the car around the class, trying out the follow mode on a taped circuit, and running a race around a block and back. One thing to note is that many participants neglected to tighten the screws on the car and as a result ended up losing some screws and having to spend a long time to find them. Everyone was looking forward to the next class after this.
