Yesterday, on the 12th of November, our class held a design contest to design balloon cars. I was in a group with Oliver black, and worked on the design. I enjoyed the design aspect, and attempting to make something unique and well preforming, though our group didn't do to well. our design didn't use a straw for propulsion which turned out not to work as well as expected. we also weren't able to get much air into the balloon as well. all of these factors combined to make our car not go past the finish. If we were to do it next time, I would like to have bluetac and toothpicks to make a body structure instead of the meat tray. this would allow for more creativity and ad more diversity towards the designs, adding an extra level of interest to the protect.
