Trial #2

Today was it! The final day for our balloon car! On our first trial day and second trial day, David and I were sick. Fortunately Mrs. Emerson was nice enough for us to make up the other trial on Wednesday. This was my first time seeing the new car that David had engineered. It looked awesome! Like he said in the description below our first test only went 1.9 M, so we wanted to AT LEAST quadrouple that number. Yes we did. We set up the balloon car already to go, and it was off! 10m, 15m, 20m, 25.7 meters! It finally stopped as it hit the fire extinguisher with still more power left. We came in third place for our class, a bronze medal! I think this one was successfully done by David. He took apart our old car and made a totally new design, that paid off in a big way! This was a huge success!
