Day 3: Disaster

We had such high hopes.. In this case, confidence didn't really come in handy...

As we were working on Shivani's Second Draft Vehicle, we faced one major problem. After finally getting the CD wheels in their rightful places, it got really hard to keep the car off the ground. The CDs kept slanting side to side and from their weight, the whole car would collapse one way or another- whichever way the CDs fell to. A whole lot of work went into taping on the balloon. Finally, with little hope left, we tested our car. It barely went two inches after the wheel at the head of the car slanted to one side, making the car fall to the ground. So much for that idea.

Bad News: Our first car was a total fail
Good News: We have a back-up plan (Emily's Second Draft Car!) that will...hopefully....work
