Formula 1 Racing

Limited resources and a budget given to a team and they are left to collaborate, build, negotiate and succeed!

Objectives

Design, Focus, Creativity and Teamwork

Activity in a capsule

Ever watched the champions on the F1 circuit? This is your chance to take it! But you must build your own batmobile. You have some of the raw material, you are told how to and you have to build that formula 1 car. Sounds simple? Well, it is never that simple with us. You and your team have to negotiate with others for more raw materials or perform sub-tasks to earn them!

The competitive spirit is at its highest when the teams are running around trying to get the last of those materials or strategizing how to design only to figure a lot of sub-parts are missing. Remember the finished product should be able to hold on its own, with one person driving it down the track.

Round-up

If you take it in your stride, you are actually learning the basics of mechanics here. And doing this, while still having fun and creating something new.
