CO2 Drag racers!!!!
Your mission is to create the fastest animal on 4 wheels!
You will be supplied with a 'chunk' of wood (12 x 1 5/8 x 2 3/4) which you will transform into your CO2 powered dragster.
We will go over some physics, aerodynamics, drafting (paper and CAD), prototyping, construction, and aesthetically pleasing finishing techniques.

Displacement and Velocity worksheet
Please do your best to complete the first page of this displacement and velocity worksheet. I know that we have not discussed this as a group yet, but I am interested to see how difficult this is for you. If most of you can figure out how to successfully complete the following questions (and show your work,) then we can skip me having to lecture for a class. Good luck and feel free to research on the computer to help figure out the formula.

CO2 dragster design booklet
Work through and follow the instructions asked of you.
I want a minimum of 8 design sketches. Please include your reasons for designs (weight, aerodynamics, etc)
Once your booklets are complete and your final design has been approved you will receive your materials to get started. You will also have to create a paper template for cutting (top and side views)
