Supplied kits

The starter kit provided has been outlined below:

Wheels

Included in the pack is a set of four plastic wheels. The smoother the wheels run, the less friction and hence the cart will go faster!

Dowels

Can be used to make axles for your wheels or anything else you may want to do with them.

Tech Card

Ideal for making lightweight string structures - provided it is folded the right way!

Motor

This motor provides a certain amount of power but can be geared to suit the task in hand.

Two Bladed Propeller

This propeller is meant as a starting point but you may want to adjust the size and shape to better suit the requirements of the competition.

Crocodile Clips

These are used to connect your motors to your battery packs.

Batteries

Throughout the competition standard alkali AA batteries must be used. 9 volt batteries, etc are not permitted.

Battery Holder

Used to hold the AA batteries.

Battery Connector

Used to connect the battery pack or 9v battery to the crocodile clips.

With sustainability in mind, certain parts of the kit need to be returned to us. These are the motor, fan, crocodile clips, battery holder and battery connector.
