The project requirements for the sumobot was to build a running car with the parts that were given to us by Mr. Atkins in the box of stuff. We built up the project with motors and batteries and got the control box to run the course. We ran the course in two minutes and twenty four seconds and that was 60% of our grade. We made our design of McDonalds because we had most of our colors red and Steve came up with the idea.

My group came in third place out of five. RDJ came in first followed by John Deer then Ronald (my group) then ASAP Fury and last but not least, Bloody Mary.

We would make our wheels perfectly straight and not be able to move at all. The front wheel would have more traction so it could turn. That was the problem with my groups project. We had speed but not torque on our wheels. Plus our gear drive project was worth it we just need to fix the torque and have a better distribution of weight on our project.
