After our second test on the ground it was able to go the length of 8 tiles without any weight. After testing our tractor on the track we were not able to pull 1 can. bertramtj https://padlet.com/bertramtj/bwglmzc7xl61/wish/139162231 2016-11-21 17:26:02 UTC https://padlet.com/bertramtj/bwglmzc7xl61/wish/139162231 After going all throughout the tractor pull the tractor ended up only able to pull the sled. Overall, we had a good project of building and the thinking process. In the thinking process the whole time we were keeping the end product and mind and thinking of how end project was going to look and how it was going to run. The tractor ended up being able to pull the sled with no sodas in it with our final product. bertramtj https://padlet.com/bertramtj/bwglmzc7xl61/wish/140252676 2016-11-28 17:08:47 UTC https://padlet.com/bertramtj/bwglmzc7xl61/wish/140252676
