charity?
Design Specifications:
uild and modify an RC car model to suit !eginners" Ma#e changes such as

chassis
Raise awareness and money for the deutsche %inder#re!sstiftung !y painting the
car with the logo and name of the charity" &n RC car is an e'citing feature and is
definetly interesting for a large audience" I will use a power point to show pictures

on the !asic o$al trac# ,red circles for slow speed in corners+ green circles for fast speed
in straights-" .he trac# must !e safe+ to do this I will turn down speed on the car alot and
