SPI 0807.T/E.1 to 2Engineering Design Process

Mission: Use the EDP and a Lego kit to design and build twomotorized devices.

Need: build a motorized toy car with 4 wheels that can drive up aninclined board at 3 different heights. 1st height: 6 inches, 2nd height: 8 inches, 3rd height: 10 inches

Solutions: Use the provided Lego kit booklet 9686-B,

Prototype: Follow the 13 instructions shown in plan 11B

Test the car on the board at 3 different heights. Record your results!

Change the wheels and test the car again in the same manner
