  14. Performance Predictions • More contact area on drive wheel means better grip • Smaller drive wheel requires less torque • A rough estimate for the time it will take would be about 20 seconds

  15. Reflections • We changed our design to have more rope to drive wheel contact • We used aluminum because it was light and strong • Hardest part for us was getting a drive wheel • Over all we spent about $35 on materials • In the future we would implement lighter building materials
