Introduction: Wheelyyy
FINAL PRODUCT
Step 1: Step 1
First we chose what pieces we wanted to use for the kinetic sculpture. We used:
- wheels
- 5 red bars
- 2 gray bars
- 2 large wheels
- 2 small wheels
- 6 yellow connectors
- 2 blue connectors
- 5 tan connectors
- 1 green connectors
- 5 rubber bands
-2 gray end pieces
Step 2: Step 2
We built the base first and worked our way up from there. We added 2 different sizes of wheels (big in the front and small in the back) to make it more sturdy. We put 2 connectors on either side of each wheel so it wouldn't move while it was in motion.
Step 3: Step 3
Once we finished we tested out final sculpture. It ended up working really well. It went twice as far as it was supposed to with such a simple design. To make it go as far as it did, wind up the elastic as far as it can go and then release the sculpture on a flat surface.
