My ICT project By Syed Abdul Samad 7BB
My 2 Project Ideas My first idea was to build a remote control car, but soon afterwards I thought about building a helicopter. I was confused between whether to do a helicopter or a car. This is why I would like to research further on these 2 topics.
Pros And Cons RC helicopter: Pros: • It can take of vertically • It is easy to fly • It doesn’t make lots of noise • It can be used indoors and outdoors • It doesn’t pollute the air • It can help you see things that are difficult to reach Cons: • It is less exiting than petrol powered helicopters • The flying time is limited. With the petrol powered helicopter, you can fly it till the petrol runs out which takes much longer. • You can’t upgrade the engine. With the other type you can play around with the engine to enable more tricks.
Pros and Cons(Continued) RC car: Pros: • Uses less battery than a RC Helicopter • Is much more safer than a helicopter • Easier to handle than a helicopter • Less accuracy needed to drive it Cons: • Not that challenging to drive • Cannot drive on rough terrains • Cannot remain stationary on water (helicopters can land on water) • travels at a less speed
Materials needed Materials needed for a RC Helicopter: Materials for a remote control car: .Motor.Chain.Aluminum.Transmitter.Receiver.Some kind of suspension.Hydraulics .Wheels .Remote control system Circuit board hardwood holder White plastic tube Measuring tube Gear Motor Screws Epoxy adhesive Carbon rods Drill Instant glue Balsa 1 ball bearing 1 plastic spacer Aluminum ball Aluminum ring Steel bar Propellers Metal ball Metal rob Tail blades Blade holder Balsa blades
My Decision I would like to build a helicopter for the simple reason that it is more challenging and I think that I will be able to gain more marks by creating this. I would have added a camera but another group has already claimed it.
