The Summative Project is worth of 30% of the overall course mark. In our case, we will have two projects, each worth 15%, there will be: 1. Presentation of Information - technical report and technical drawings 2. Model Project - 3D drawings and mockup scale models

The Summative Project and start/Finish date will be determined in the last term based on School Calendar variables.

The **SITUATION** The current CO2 Dragster Race is enjoyed by many students, however, they are several problems with running the race: 1. the length of time to run a single-elimination race could last the whole period. 2. the start gate allows the setup of eight dragsters for four races, however, at the end of every race the dragsters have to be removed from the finish gate area, causing delays. 3. the guideline requires the dragster to have a eye screw in the front center and rear center 4. you cannot race shell races on a guideline track 5. the first dragster to enter the finish gate is protected by the sponge block, the second dragster tends to hit the finish gate, potential causing the dragster to break

=
To research, design, construct and report on a custom designed CO2 race track (Start and Finish Gate) that will solve several of the identified problems .======
