Trial 1



During trial 1, I brought Kristen and I's balloon car to school. We were just hopiong for the best. So, we blew it up and let it go. It went 3 meters and then turned to the left and crashed into a locker. So, we figure the wheels were turned to the left slightly. That afternoon, we took Kristen's bus back to her house to fix any problems. We figured out that not only the wheels were facing towards the left, the whole front steel rod was a little bent. So, we unbent it by using a clamp tool in her basement. Once it was unbent, we fixed the plastice tube that is attached to the balloon by straightening it out so the end wasn't facing to the right somuch. This was also causing it to go to the left slightly. Once we fixed these things we were all set for trial 2 the next day.
