The challenge is to use our knowledge of Newton's laws of motion, momentum, and energy to design and construct a vehicle that will go as far as possible using an unbalanced force to create motion.
Rules:
- Construct a vehicle that can travel at least 3 tiles. Vehicle must stay within a 2-tile wide path.
- No FORWARD force may be applied to the vehicle by the student.
- Vehicle must be made of recycled/reused products. No pre-made vehicle parts.
- Vehicle must travel using an unbalanced force to create motion.
- Students are not allowed to help vehicle along the path.
- Students may not use electricity/fuel cells or manufactured containers of pressurized gas(ie. CO2). This is a land vehicle. All vehicles start from level surface (no ramps or walls). All parts of vehicle must remain on vehicle, except fuel.
