Lego Mindstorm Cars

This week in engineering we made cars with the Lego Mindstorm kits. They were supposed to go around a U shaped track without any help from us. MY group was Mike Mulvey, Tommy Hardy and I, and we decided to make a tricycle based car. The biggest problem that we had was making it turn, but after Tommy worked on it for a day or two it finally started to work. In the end, it went around the track perfectly. While Tommy was working on programming it, Mulvey and I put a rubber band launcher on the top just in case we get attacked on the course.
