Make it your own

And now it is time to hand the dragster over to you. This is where you can take what you have built so far and customize the dragster to your liking. Plenty of pieces have been left in the bin, such as designing aesthetic features, new approaches to making your dragster more intuitive, and plenty of coding options to take the dragster to the next level.

Here are a few ideas to consider:

  • What can you change on the body of the dragster to look like a dragster you would drive?
  • Search online for different dragster designs and tweak this model to another body design.
  • If you don't want to use the color sensor, then how could you use the distance sensor to race down the track?
  • What are other approaches to help your dragster become faster? Less weight, better gearing, and drag resistance reduction are a few things to consider.
