Motor x2
Wheels x3
Wood Base
Wires x9
smiley face
screws x12

Design
we drew a sketch of the car before we started to build it, with a pencil and paper
The Base
A 3mm ply wooden board was used for the base, and was laser cut with the assistance of the teacher.
Drilling Holes
Holes where marked for where the parts would be placed, and drilled using a hand drill. The parts where then zip tied to the board.
Attaching Arduino and Motor Board
Wiring
Wiring is shown in the image, though as you can see we used a motor board instead of the L298D motor chip.
Programming
This is the programming we did as seen in the image.
Aftermath Go the Much Fast
After many tests, only one motor would run at the intended speed, while the other motor would only go half that or not run at all. We tried switching the motors, replacing cables and fiddling with the code but the motor would not run properly.
