Recap April 9-10

     During this week, we have begun to test and do some practice runs on our vehicle. After some testing, we realized that we needed to resolder some of our wires. We also decided that we should add some walls below the motor so the black squash balls do not get run over from out vehicle. Using some of our unused parts, we solved this problem and proceeded to run some tests.
     Another problems we noticed was that our vehicle was not moving as fast as we thought it could. We added some sandpaper to the wheels which greatly increased our speed.
     After successfully running some tests, we also realized that we needed to add some color to our vehicle. We brought the vehicle home and painted some of the parts with glossy black paint and made some decisions about adding pictures to the vehicle as well to go along with our team name Herman Cain Train. A picture of the finished product can be seen below.
