Solar Car
_____________
AbstractThis project involved creating a solar powered car using VEX robotics parts and a solar panel. We had to combine our knowledge about circuitry with our building skills to accomplish this task. The image to the right displays our final product.

Final ProductReflectionOverall our solar car was a good learning experience. We had a solid body design and the car was very stable when it was moving along. However, the gear ratio was too difficult for the motor to turn quickly so the car was not able to go that fast. This design could have been improved by decreasing the gear ratio to make it easier for the motor to turn instead of harder. Future improvements could also include adding another solar panel so the motor would have more power to work with.
