The WindWaker

And

The Snapper Mk.2

From Renautas Automobiles
By: James Martinez, Collin Tarleton, and Aditya
Katewa.

The Features Of The Snapper Mk.2 Include:

Its every drag racers dream, with a ram in front to clear out the competition and
a freely moving back axle with spikes.
The string length and arm length can be adjusted to increase or decrease
distance and speed.
It has relatively smooth rubber tires, so little energy is initially lost to friction, but
it has enough traction.
There is a set of parallel traps joined together to provide double the power, in
place of just one.

The Features Of The WindWaker Include:

Adjustable distance and speed based on how much air you put in.
Lots of room for family and friends above the main chassis.
Less friction on the wheels, allowing for a faster and smoother ride.
It is air powered instead of being dependent on the rotation of an axle, which
makes it easier to drive on different surfaces.

Recap
The Snapper Mk.2:

The WindWaker:

It is very cost effective, only costing

$11.24.

It drives smoothly and consistently, with as

little contact between the wheels and the
ground .

It has low friction tires, enabling most of

the potential energy to be converted into
kinetic. (An 84% Conversion Rate!)

It is relatively affordable, at the price of

$21.20.

The length of the arm and string can be

adjusted to increase or decrease speed and
distance.

Since it is propelled by compressed air and

not axle rotation, it can drive on most
surfaces.

Most importantly, it is the perfect drag

racing car, designed to keep the
competition away and quickly overtake
anyone else.

It is a great family car, with plenty of

space, and it handles safely and reliably.
