Introducing Team Swag Wag!!!!


Our team name is Swag Wag and the members are: Takumi, Danny, Chris, and Lindsay. Today, we built a rubber band propelled Lego race car. Our prototype consisted of winding up a rubber band around the back axel of the car that would propel it forward. We did three trial runs with three slightly modified prototypes. As a result, our second prototype went the farthest because of the way the rubber band was wrapped. Our last prototype was the worst because of the lever that was attached to the back axel would stall the model and not allow it to move. 

The first photo above is our group photo (a better one coming soon) as well as the Lego race car that was our winner.
