Batman: luggage carrier

Name of model:
Luggage Carrier
Time frame of construction:
Five-six weeks

Team involved:
Danan and I

Contributors:
Red Baron, Shorty and Ranaldo

Initial Idea:
At the start I was building a tractor until Ms. O’Connell told us we were doing a plane project, so I changed it to a luggage carrier. I learned about carriers and they transport luggage to the plane. For safety people must their names and addresses on them. I built one trailer on it and it runs by one motor.

Adaptations:
The adaptations will be to maybe add more to it. We are adding a touch sensor. This works by putting your model in front of a wall or book and when the model hits it the sensor tells the car to go back or forward. Sarah and I might add some lights to it as well.

Changes in the future:
Danan and I are thinking of adding a second trailer. I will put some coloured bricks in the second trailer to make it look like luggage. I was thinking of having a mini number plate on the front.

Programming:
Danan and I will make our carrier go forward for three seconds. Then use the touch sensor to make it go back for three seconds, and then it will stop and beep twice.
