Ethan participated in his last Pinewood Derby. His car this year was "The Jailbird". The leaders really stressed this year that the boys build their own cars, and cars from years past could not be used. Ethan made this great car all by himself. It wasn't the fastest on the track, but it sure looked cool and we had a great time. Cameron has a program on our laptop that sets up a rotation for all the cars to compete randomly and race them all in different heats. He even hooked up an amp to the computer so that there were different noises (like cars revving, crashing and it even played the National Anthem at the beginning!) playing during the races.
Nice car, Ethan! Kind of sad that it's your last pinewood derby, though. That sound system must have made the derby so much more fun!! Good work, Cameron.
ReplyDeleteGreat job with your car design, Ethan! I love what Cameron was able to do, too - how fun!
