![]() | ANFO
ANFO is a flying machine that's a hybrid of an airplane and a helicopter. It has three rotors, two of which produce upward thrust and the third pulls the aircraft. This design eliminated the need for tilting, which is a huge technological problem for most aircrafts today. ANFO has the capability to carry large payloads over long distance with minimal power. This design can be modified to recognize color

![]() | Bottle rocket car
The bottle rocket car will be powered by two sources of energy. One source of power will be mechanical and the other will be by pressure. There will be two mouse traps which are attached to the center of the car that has a pulley. The main objective of having a pulley is to have a string attached to the tip so it can wind up the back wheels. The purpose of having the a bottle attached to both of the sides of the car is to have a second power source and move the car forward. There will be baking soda and vinegar mixed inside of the bottles in order to create pressure.

 | Car of the Future
My project is a hovercraft which rides on a thin layer of air. My hovercraft is different compared to other crafts, because it can be driven. This hovercraft is flown by using two leaf blowers filling up a sheet of plastic as the skirt of the board. The power supply for the leaf blowers will be electricity by connecting the leaf blower to an electrical outlet. The hovercraft will also look like a car made from cardboard or another light material. The craft will be driven with a fan or another blower attached on the back of the board and tilted left or right by rope or light weight sturdy material to turn. Overall, the board will ideally be very light in order to hold the weight of a person.

 | Girly Pedal Car
For our project we are going to do build a pink girly pedal car from bike parts to make it run. For the outside, we are planning on building it out of plastic. The bike parts have to make the pedal function well and we are going to ride it down on the floor instead of like a bike. We will learn how to weld. We will both be in charge of looking for places where to find cheap plastic and bike parts. Our mentors are going to help us on building the pedal car by getting the parts. Our goals combined will probably take about three weeks to accomplish. We are planning to work during flex on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

![]() | Isabella's Kinetic Horse
The moving legs of my horse are based on a kinetic sculpture design by Theo Jansen. I made a prototype using a K'NEX building set - it is about 3 feet long and about 1.5 feet high. The horse is powered by a small electric motor and it walks/runs at two speeds. The final model will be slightly larger, like a medium size dog, and will be made from different materials. It will be painted and decorated to look like a paint mustang. I would like to use a flywheel instead of an electric motor in the final model.

 | Model Police Vehicle With Special Effects
I am putting LED's, siren, etc into a smaller scale replica Police California Highway Patrol. I am trying to make this car look like a real CHP in a smaller size though. Here are the features that this car will have,
4 Tone Siren
LED 1/18 Scale Police Light Bar
Head lights, tail lights, reverse lights, parking lights and grill lights.
Automatic head lights and tail lights, so that when it gets dark in the room the lights will turn on automaticlly if main power switch is on.
Same features with radio sounds, they will automaticlly come on in a police mans vioce when an object come within 1 to 2 feet. He will sound like he is talking on the radio.
Dog Dish Wheels.

 | Rambunctious Combat Robots
You saw custom-built radio controlled 60 pound to 225 pound combat robots set out to destroy each other in a bulletproof area here at the Maker Faire a few years ago. Think of a one pound mini-me version of these heavy metal behemoths designed to compete in a sport known as robotic combat. Warpig is a one pound battlebot with a powerful lifter and ultra-strong titanium armor, while Attitude is a three pound bot with an 8-inch titanium sawblade that spins at 8,000 rpm!
