Pinewood derby car

This assignment was to make your own pinewood derby car and race it. We were given a small box with a piece of wood wheels and nails. First, you cut your piece of wood into the shape that you wanted your car to be. Then you created your wheels in onshape and printed them. Lastly, you put more weight on your car and raced them.

What worked was putting the car together it was very easy and simple. What didn’t work well was my wheels were very wobbly so I edited them and added a hub to help stabilize them. Something I would change is the shape of my car, I think if I spent more time on it I could’ve found a more aerodynamic shape. I would also change the entire design of my wheels, they weren’t very well thought out and I could definitely make them better.
