For my AS DT Project I'll be building a Soap Box racer for next year's RR show. Luckily they've opened it up a bit so that the Situation is 'Something to make life at school easier'. My school is on the side of a hill.... so why not ehh? I'll keep this thread updated with my build, which should start in the next week or so!  Adam |

Definatly needs brakes We're aiming for the sort of thing that gets entered into the SFVISBF.. so that should give you some guidance in terms of size and materials.. |

Yup,.. but with more competitors they will be needed for safety.. We may well start from the top of the hill as well.. |
