Dylan AM 12/6 120 Minutes Horizon Hydrocar

What I  Did
  • Worked on Hydrocar
  • Attached hydrogen fuel cell
  • Drove around the track a few laps to get a feel for the car
What Worked
  • Fuel cell was very hard to attach because of the angle of some tiny screws.
    • Instead of a hex, we used pliers to hold the top in while we screwed in with Allen wrench from the other side.

What Didn't Work
  • The lighter black frame doesn't fit on the car, so we got rid of it, just using the silver metal plate
  • After a few laps, the car stopped moving. When trigger pulled, car jumped forward a few inches then stopped.Assumed that the hydrostiks were empty, which I tested by hooking it up and listening for the sounds of the hydrogen, but it didn't come.
  • Would fill them, but I'm not sure if the machines are powered up and working
What I'm doing next

  • Fixing the hydrogen charging station 
  • Massing new sticks and pairing them with each other
  • Working out better ways to hold wires together
