Web Site Comes On

Today we had a de-briefing session on what happened on Friday last at the regional finals. We looked at what we could do better, and where we could improve our marks in the competition. We came up with a list of stuff to do:

- Better stand design.
- Better website.
- More sponsors
- Better communication with sponsors
- Faster car with lower drag.
- A sponsors booklet.

And a few tricks up our sleeves!!

Best Engineered Car and through to Irish National Finals!!

Manufacturing Begins!!

Today we started to learn how to use the Boxford HSRi2 CNC router that we have in our school. First we weighed all the balsa blanks, as the one we were sent from the ICS this year very dark in colour and seemed heavier than the others we had! So we weighed them one by one and then wrote on them the weight in grams.
