Erich and Brandon's Bumper Car

Hi! Our names are Erich and Brandon. Our fifth project is called Bumper Car. We made a bumper car by following easy instructions. We have the second fastest car and it can spin really fast. In fights our car always wins. Our car is no longer connected to the computer because of a mini computer, called the yellow brick lego. The car uses the yellow brick lego as the body of the car. We got our best time driving it backwards, 14 seconds on a staight away race. Our best time going forwards was 28 seconds. It turns too much to control it for going around objects.

Below is a picture of the Lego project and the procedures.
