Design Squad

The Design squad was challenged to transform a tricycle and a wagon into a drag racing car.They had to make the wagon and tricycle move on its own by attaching power drills to them.They also had to make sure the weight of the driver was as light as possible so the dragracer would'nt slow down too much.The blue team used the strategy of using a spool connected to both set of wheels so the speed would accelerate up.The two teams worked well together because everyone listened to eachothers ideas.They also worked well together by keeping possitive attitudes majority of the time.
If I were in design squad I wouldve went with the blue teams idea.Although I would've used a telephone wire because of the tecture.The only reason they lost was because the rope was tangling.The drag racer was just about to speed up when the rope was tangled.The type of rope was the only hold up.I learned from this episode that different types of string and rope function in two different ways.
