I worked with Mateo on AM car #1 while Dylan and Tyler worked on car#2. We tried to screw the axel into the base but it didn't fit right with the blue controller box, so we used zip ties to secure the axel- it turned out okay except the buckle on the ziptie makes the controller box uneven, so we temporarimy placed it at an angle. Another issue we had was connecting it to the remote controller and we figured out it was because the pins have to be connected a certain way so that it corresponds with the correct channel. We were stuck on which channel means what. It was kinda funny, when we pressed the trigger, it stopped and when we released it, the car ran by itself, like autopilot. The best we got to so far is being able to steer and accelerate, with the exception that we can't reverse. We plan to ask Mr.Burnham for help. We took it on a spin for the last 15mins.
Next time, we plan to correct the controller box's placement and ask about the remote control. After we get it all working, then the next step is to find strategies and ideas for the race.
