Drag Sail

February 19, 2009

Build a car that can hold a sail.
The sail is to cause drag and slow down the car.
To test: 1. Let the car go down the ramp without the sail.
2. Mark the point the front wheel touches the floor.
3. Have the car  go down the ramp with the sail.
4. Measure the distance the from where the front wheel touches the floor to the first mark
to get the difference between the two runs.
The winner is the car with the greatest difference.
