Make a vehicle that moves down a track. The vehicle’s movement must be started by the movement of a golf ball and once started it must move without assistance. The ball may be rolled, dropped, or bounced to start the vehicle’s movement. The ball may not be used as a vehicle or as part of a vehicle.
Your score is determined by how far the vehicle travels down the track. You will have 6 minutes to make your solution, practice and discuss the problem. Then you will have 3 minutes to compete for your score.
