The Loveable Idiot
A hybrid car is a car that replaces the fuel with energy. In this project we had to build a car that was energy effictent and have it travel 5 meter and stop. Our car is called The Loveable Idoit and is powered by a rubber band. It works by stretching the rubber band from the end wood and hooking it to the axel. Then, turing the axel so the rubber band can stretch and then releasing it to make it move. We spent most of our time trying to figure out what we were going to do. We had a hard time thinking of ideas. But by the end we finished the assigment and it turned out great.

Reflection
In our project we had trouble with time management, For example, on the first day we didn't know what the plan was. We had no idea what we were going to do. And by the end of it we were hurrying to get the presentation done. One of the biggest problem were the rubber bands. We wanted to use one big rubber band just so we can make the car go a further distance but they were hard to find so we tried a lot of different options like tying multiple rubber bands together to make one and etc. I learned a lot from this project. I learned to take the lead when things get out of control and to work together as a group.
I worked on this project with Joell Vaca, Reema Heydari, and Henry Zhang
