We ended up spending over a thousand dollars on brakes we had remove from the car during the race because the calipers were locking on the top of the rotors. We ended up taking the brakes off of the back wheels. We had to manufacture our own brackets for the brakes so they’d fit on the rotors. After the construction of the car, we went to the speedway. Each team had to go through a process called scrutineering. This was where all the judges tested the teams on their knowledge of their cars. There were six stages: mechanical, electrical, steering, slalom/emergency escape from car, braking, and the track test. The car was bulky, heavy, and had a terrible turning radius. We were able to troubleshoot at the track and fix the steering system. The mirrors were not in the right spot, and
