Pre-Historic Times

Lying around the car team lab are the remnants of cars past. Based on extensive archeological work, we have hypothesized the following:

• At one time, there was a car powered by some sort of homemade battery. It used two sewing boxes to separate multiple cells (~16). Copper wire was involved (maybe as the anode? cathode?). The power generated by these batteries was then used to drive an electric motor (specifications unknown). The chassis was built of wood, and rollerblade wheels were used.
• We found what we believe to be the remains of some sort of air-motor powered car. However, the few fragments remaining make it difficult to guess as to the design and function of the car.
• There exists the body of some sort of remote control car. It has a neat suspension system which, we hypothesize, allowed it to travel over bumps with relative ease. Little else is known about the car.
