Discover - Team Building a Vehicle
Want to move some dirt? There are many designs for devices that dig and move dirt. Which is the best? Building a device that does the job you want depends on careful design. The process often goes better if you have someone to share ideas
with.
You probably know the old saying, "Two heads are better than one." That is very true in designing and building devices and vehicles. Two or more designers working together can improve each other's ideas and see each other's mistakes. Plus, by working together, people can share the work, allowing each person to put special focus on the part he or she is designing and building.
