Re: Teaching physics of PWD to WEBELO 2's
OK, It looks like no-one else has done this.
Do you think it would be too advanced for W2's to understand?

cutting metal on a wood-only band saw?
Is it possible?
I know I'd need a high TPI, metal-cutting blade but is there any reason that cutting thin steel on a wood-only band saw would be a mistake?

Thanks for your input.

Teaching physics of PWD to WEBELO 2's
Our second year WEBELO's will graduate before the PWD next Spring. I have spoke with the den leader and proposed we have a 1 to 2 day training session on the physics of PWD where we would discuss free-body diagrams, friction, CG, etc., build and race weighted pine wood blocks (no aerodynamics or ast...

Will re-lube on race day.
Likely to be about 10 runs on all cars at first race.
I don't know how many to expect at District...

Re-work to prep for District?
I figure this has likely been discussed before but, I didn't find a thread on this issue... What, if any re-work do you guys do on a winning car to prepare for another race which is 1 to 3 weeks away? or, to ask another way, Will a car get slower just by sitting 3 weeks in a shoe box? My boys took 1...
