The third day we changed our simplistic wheels to extraordinary tank tracks. By doing this our vehicular front axle wasn't slightly veering in an unwanted direction. The reason for this tiresome problem was a little rebellious swivel wheel was sticking in random positions . By removing the swivel wheel and putting the tank tracks, our wheelchair was superior to our competing colleagues and we triumphed. We did a time trial and we beat them the first time with a time of 0:57 seconds. A surprising thing happened and they beat our time by a small amount of 2 seconds. After that horrifying defeat we went back to the drawing board and came up with extremely large mobile treads which gave us more maneuverability and more ground covered in a faster time span. We came back with a glorifying time of 0:51 seconds. Till this day it has not been beaten and we are proud of our legacy of wheelchair racing.
Below are the two pictures of the Lego project and the procedures.
