The first project of iFoundry was to build a stem car. While we were given instructions on how build it, my group decided to change it up by moving around the engine and the chassis design. The new design was revolved around aerodynamics and efficiency of the engine. We spent a lot of hours laboring on the parts such as welding the spokes onto the wheels. We also had to create the boiler and build the whole car around the chassis which had to be the last part made based on our design. Finally we had our finished product; the sleek car that Bruce Wayne would love to drive. The car was working until the competition however. Its wicks had
burned to far and went out a minute before the race which completely prevented us from competing. Overall, the project was a success, it just didn't turn out on game day.
