Platform Car

The Platform Car is a great example of RAFT’s concept of “found engineering,” using materials that were not meant to go together to do things they were not intended to do. This car moves easily due to its simple wheel and axle system and use of low friction wheels, leading to fun and intriguing motion experiments using gravity. With a few extra parts it can even be powered via a rubber band and propeller! How far and how fast can the platform car move down a ramp and/or across the floor? How much weight can it hold? Explore these questions and more with this unique design!
Optional add-on: Propeller Power*
*Note: This is an add-on only and is sold separately from the Platform Car.
