Trials

December 5, 2011
On our first trial our balloon car traveled 11.8 meters. It came to a stop by slowing down and then the car it some lockers on the right side of the hallway. With our balloon car traveling that far we earned the highest distance traveled in our class. We were both pleased with the our result on this day.

On our second trial our car only traveled 1.6 meters. It barely left the starting point and it stopped because the balloon lost all of its air. We came to the conclusion that there was probably something wrong with our balloon. We think that it was either stretched out too much or it had a hole in it. We don't think that it was the actual car because we just did a trial with it right before we did the official trial and it traveled like it did on the 5th.
