Given a small motor, design a model vehicle that will travel in a straight line for exactly 15 meters in 60 seconds, and then stop. Accuracy in distance and time will be judged. All power, propulsion, and control apparatus must be carried with the model.
Batteries are okay.
Rules For propulsion, you must use only the motor provided, with no internal modifications. The motor is available from any Radio Shack store as part number 273-223. It may also be purchased from the supply window in the EE department electronics lab. Each contestant will be allowed to make two complete runs, with the best score of the two runs counting as the contestant's final score. The vehicle must remain in continuous motion before its finishing stop, i.e. there cannot be multiple stops and starts.
