 =Assignment #8 - Lego Racers=

Goal: In industry you are often asked to design a product that is able to do multiple things based on the same general design. You and a partner are to build a lego racer that has capable of both the fastest speed in the class, and with a 1 day turnaround, capable of the longest distance traveled in a straight line.

Evaluation:

You are simply being marked on the quality of the construction/design, your use of time and the results of the 2 races (actually there are 4 races, the round-robin tournaments, and then the mad dash for each distance and speed). All races will be round-robin format until a winner is chosen. All races will have a 'mad dash' of all racers at the end regardless of the results of the round-robin.

 =Assignment #9 - RUBBER BAND CAR=
 * **CATEGORY** || **4** || **3** || **2** || **1** ||
 * **Construction Quality** || All relevant details are present and done impeccably. || All details are present, though there may be confusion in the model. || Generally the model is clear, but there are flaws in which details may be obscured or are unsound. || There are large errors - construction is flawed based on the model ||
 * **Use of Time** || Used time well during each class period (as shown by observation by teacher, and documentation of progress in journal) with no reminders. || Used time well during most class periods (as shown by observation by teacher, and documentation of progress in journal) with no reminders. || Used time well (as shown by observation by teacher and documentation of progress in journal), but required reminders on one or more occasions to do so. || Used time poorly (as shown by observation by teacher and/or documentation of progress in journal) in spite of several reminders to do so. ||
 * **Product** || Final product is exemplary || Final product is superior, with some minor flaws || Final product is presentable, but contains some flaws || Final product is inferior ||

Many people take for granted the research and design that goes into creating an automobile. Principles of inertia, friction, thrust and motion must all be carefully considered and balanced to produce a vehicle of optimal characteristics for whatever the manufacturer wants.

You will work individually to submit a design report for your product including all sketches, drawings and/or models. Drawn objects must be meticulous as materials allocated for the project will be based SOLEY on the material list from your drawings. You will be given 3 heavy-duty elastics to power your vehicle. That is all that may propel your vehicle with. All other materials used will be supplied by you and all other materials are fair game IF THEY ARE VETTED BY ME. There is a speed challenge and a distance challenge just like with the lego racers.
 * THE CHALLENGE**

• Before construction begins – sketches and a 3D model must be submitted for assessment. After completion, a final sketches and drawing will be submitted with the design report. The drawings will include all relevant details as pullouts. • Car construction - overall design of the finished product will be evaluated including: dimensions, style and adherence to the working drawings. • Performance results - distance & speed results. • Self-Evaluation/ write-up.
 * EVALUATION**:

 **General value of various components of the project:**
 * Component || Value ||
 * 1 - sketches || 4 ||
 * 2 - AutoCAD/sketchup files || 4 ||
 * 3 - car construction || 8 ||
 * 4 - speed/distance results || % of 10 ||
 * 5 -Technical Report || 6 ||

Mostly all details are addressed. || <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12px;">Generally the isometric drawing conveys design plans. There are several design elements missing. || <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12px;">Many design elements are missing from the isometric drawing, but overall the design can be understood. ||
 * **<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12px;">AutoCAD / Sketchup Files ** || <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12px;">Relevant views of the there are clear || <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12px;">All views are present, though there may be confusion in the drawings || <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12px;">Generally the drawings can lead towards a final product, but there are flaws in which construction details may be obscured || <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12px;">There are large errors in the object views - such that construction will be difficult based on the schematics. ||
 * **<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12px;">Car construction **

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12px;"> **<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif';">(double value) ** || <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12px;">Construction of the product is superior. All joints and cuts are careful and deliberate. Product is stylistically superior. || <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12px;">Construction is sound. Cuts and joints may not all be perfect. Product is generally pleasant to look at. || <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12px;">Generally the construction is solid. Cuts and joints as well as style all leave something to be desired. || <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12px;">The construction is weak. Joints and or cuts are mismatched which results in a stylistically inferior product. ||
