Summary of the Presentation and how the slides are organised

4. Rocket Car Kit Blue Foam Block 2 Wall Anchors 2 Eyelets 2 axels
4 wheels
1 rocket motor (delivered on race day)
Explain the different components of the Rocket Car kit.
Foam Block – Go through the orientation of the block and how to translate the markings on the following slides. Make sure the competitors understand the minimum allowed dimensions.
Two Axles – Explain the two axle holes, and also explain that if the car width has been reduced, within the minimum guidelines, and after the wheels have been put on the axles, the axle length can be trimmed if necessary. So that the axle finishes flush with the outer edge of the wheel
Wheels – These are best fitted with a small hammer, knocking down onto a hard surface. The Wheel orientation is with the raised flange face next to the Foam body of the car
Wall Anchors – These screw into the underside of the car at the position shown as BackEye and FrontEye on the drawing. Their function is to provide a secure anchor for the eyelets.
Eyelets – These screw into the wall anchors and then become the tether line guides. Note Is is best to assemble the Eyelets into the Wall Anchors and then fit the combined item into the Foam Block
