Center of Gravity

March 24, 2009
Here is a LEGO model of the old belt trick.
It uses a center of gravity that is below the point of support.

The class looked at their pictures of the LEGO City they built.
Then they looked at the picture ideas of a Go Over It challenge.

To make two cars connected at right angle there needs to be two plates between two beams.

This succeded at goal to make a car that could bump into a wall, go over it and continue.
