Today we worked with other groups to try to improve the quality of our car. We moved a distance of about 1 cm about 1 sec, making our velocity .01 mps forward, and we could not find acceleration as we could not have a velocity initial. Obviously we need a change in plan for the propulsion, and we are thinking about taking two springs and three wheels connected by a long rod and then released for energy. Once again, this would apply to newtons third law because the same force being put into the springs should be put into the car. We also discussed other plans, but this one seems the best.
