On the first day, we went to Design and Technology. They asked many questions about the trike; what it is made of, what are the brakes and other questions like that. Then we did scrutineer- ing and seemed to answer all the safety questions correctly and our steering and brakes were tested. On Thursday we did the presentation, this goes toward our score as well. Lloyd started the race on Friday and at the end of the race on Saturday, we put Sam in and she finished. They were our team cap- tains. Mrs Forward and Mr Eastburn were dumped with water and Gatorade after the race. The kids names were: Ella, Sam, Alex, James, Bailey, Noah, Shamus, Lyndal, Adrian, Kailee, Lloyd and Jake. They were all the people from in our H.P.V. team; we had 10 riders and 2 pit crew. Of all of those people, only one person rolled and, of course, it was a girl called ELLA. The complete front end of it was scratched - Ella was fine! It was an amazing experience!
