Investigation of Solution
Rear Propulsion
must be less then 9 volts
1 motor
gear chain
gear chain to both tires?
or gear chain to an axel
attach gear chain in the middle or on the side
worm and worm wheel
only spins one way
can be placed in the middle with a bracket, allowing less screws in the walls of the vehicle
belt and pulley
could slip under high levels of torque
chain and sprocket
complicated at this scale
Power
must be require less then 9 volts
how to supply power?
battery
create suitable battery holder
solder wires to components
must be connected to main power switch
connect rear propulsion to variable speed switch
wire up resistor to LED's
rear warning light system
Drag Reduction System
must be driver toggleable
use of a linkage to move DRS
have linkage on the top section to allow more room for wires and other components underneath
must be in the rear of the device
must have rear wing in order to reduce drag
Driver Head Protection
prevents driver from being crushed in the event of a roll over
halo
roll cage
have seat low in device
extra protection from impact
Sleek Design
must be sleek and compact
take note of existing F1 cars
low to ground
front wing
rear wing
front of car made at an angle
large rubber tires
provide good grip to racing surface
do not exceed 400mm
Environmental Factor
dont use unnecessary parts
plan ahead
use brackets for multiple purposes instead of just 1
use the sides of the device to attach components
use existing screws to attach components to
Components
must be seen without dismantling
clear perspex base
hard to work with
brittle and is prone to cracking
no base
require use of more brackets
brackets can be used to reinforce main body
ease of access to components
LED for rear lights
ON/OFF switch
variable switch
motor
9 volt battery
Materials
brass
hard to work with
heavy
alluminium
light weight
easy to work with
malleable
plastic
brittle
many colours
can be transparent
Finishes
paint
polish
steel wool
sanded
