Everything else came from my house
Instead of using tape on the axles I should have used an epoxied spacer. The tape adhesive interfered with the wheel spinning.
I should have made a more varied gear ratio. A bigger gear for the speed competition could have cut some time off.
The distance should have been measured in a straight line from the starting point. The turning of the vehicle shouldn't have been added to the total distance.
An increase in the 2 inch rule to 3 inches would have made the distance race a little more interesting.
