My Keywords were Harmonious Assymetry.

Way Things Work Course Projects

 

This was a test project that faculty wanted to try for the Spring semester. All Industrial Design first term students had to design a pine wood derby racer. The inspiration for my racer was a Flying Squirrel.

 



The side pods/skirts were attached with velcro.

Me on race day.

I had to remove the side pods during the race because I thought they where rubbing on the lane deviders. I did not win, but I was happy that my racer ran a respectable race. Later that day, I studied my racer closely and found out that  one of the front wheels was rubbing on the wood part of the chassis. I did not glue the top body to the pine wood chassis in perfect alignment.

The faculty decided that this was the only semester that students would have a derby race.
