CO2 Dragster Tips



= Design Sketching = On a clean sheet of paper, sketch your favorite design on a larger scale with more detail. Draw the top and side views.

Make light projection lines from one view to the other to help you locate axle holes and other features of your design. Show the location of hidden details (such as the cartridge hole) by using dashed lines. Remember to obtain the list of specs and read it. While doing so, look at your design sketch to see how each spec applies to your design. You may find it necessary to take notes or even change your design.

= Working Drawing =

The working drawing is a precise, 1:1 scale drawing that describes your car and its features. Working drawings should have top and side, or profile, views. An accurate working drawing is important for two reasons: 1) A copy of the working drawing serves as a template for rough-cutting your car blank. 2) You may be required to submit your working drawing. It could be part of your grade or even be scored for competition points (ask your teacher about this).
