Construct And Test Prototype
solar and hydrogen fuel cell power verified by Mrs. Sangwan.
Car does move 1 meter, verified by Mrs. Sangwan and in races.

Evaluate Solution
My experience with wiring the power products were not terrible but not great. I still get confused with BreadBoard. But with a little help from jack i was able to do it. Results in table. Last minute, we changed the wheels to be smaller to make get a smaller ratio.Some mistakes we made were making the car too heavy. I learned how to use motors, solar panels, and hydrogen fuel cells.
Present Solution
Here we are about to put the second set of wheels on that will hold the gears and power to the motor
here the wheels are on and so are the gears and all that is left is the motor.
here everything is connected and all that is left is the solar panel or hydrogen fuel cell
Renewable energy source limitations can be for solar panels, the sun may not be hitting the panels directly therfore it recieves less energy. The hydrogen fuels cell can fill up and not be able to be used anymore. If you use nuclear power then you need to store the nuclear wste and it is hard to do that.
Extra Credit
Our car technically got third place when we raced in the lab because one hit the side. And one wasnt working.
