Design Your Race Car! or Design a Piece of Art!

Let's get started designing a race car for our 2nd Annual 3D Road Rally.  The Rally will be held in early June.  Prizes & Trophies will be awarded to top 3 finishers in each category.


There are 2 categories:

#1 Race - Cars are built for speed!  Design, print, finish, and test your fastest design.
Max size - 30mm wide x 100mm long x 50 mm height max
Max weight - ?
#2 Show - Show cars are all about looks!  Show your most creative and innovative design.
Max size - 40 mm wide x 150 mm long x 60 mm height max
Max weight - n/a

All cars need to roll!

As always, you, look for ideas but you must create your own design and not remix someone else's design.

Log into tinkercad.com to start building. Get help in Tech Lab C205 at lunchtime, before or after school.

Volunteers will be needed to help build and modify race track, trophies, and displays.  Your help will be appreciated!

Designs are due on the last week of February.  All printed cars will be included in the Art show in January.

LET'S GET READY TO ROLL!

Art Show Designs 
The 1st Rio Schools Art Show is rapidly approaching.  Creating art on a 3D printer is a new and powerful way to use this technology to express your inner Van Gogh!  

Requirements: 

  • All creations must be your own design.  Research but do not remix someone else's design.
  • Sizes can vary.  See me for anything larger than 200 mm x 200 mm x 200 mm.
  • Piece can be functional like a designer picture frame, race car, phone stand, phone cover etc...
  • Due by end of January
Check out this site for ideas.  There are many more on the web and in your head!  Have fun
