Unhappy Weight Powered Car

Design Parameters:
- The car must have 4 wheels and 2 axles
- all car parts must remain attached to the main body of the car
- car must be powered only by a 2 pulley and rope system using a weight no heavier than 1 kilogram.
- Car must be hand made, but pre-made parts (ex. Toy car wheels) may be used.

They are the requirements for the project. I did some brain storming and i have some questions and you guys can even give me some creating ideas .
Questions:
i was thinking of using Styrofoam as the structure of the car ?
Would wood (lol ) be a better option ?
If any of you guys make a rough image along with your ideas would be very explanatory and i would be very thankful
i can use any or all tools.
Thank again

There seem to be lots of folk working on this same assignment, though you’re the first to give a clear description of the rules. Check out this thread of the same name.

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.

Share the love!
