Building Process, Test results, and Modifications
The first thing we did when building the design that our group thought would work the best to carry the Soda can, was to examine the constraints that were laid out for us. After examining the constraints we proceeded to brainstorming what would be the best solution to the problem given to us. After figuring out the solution we decided to use, we then started to build our solution using materials given to us by the teacher
Once we constructed our first prototype and started to test it, we realised that the car that we designed would not be able to hold the can. So we used two pieces of metal to make it wider so the can could fit. Also we realized that for the pulley system to work sufficiently, and we would had to add another pulley so the rope wouldn't slip out. But other than these few modifications our original design worked out very well.

Conclusion Questions
1. The pulley system because all I had to do was count how many strands it had
2. The gears because I had to count how many teeth it had
3.
4.We could put it on an inclined plane so that we would have to put in less effort to get it to 2 ft
