Why did we choose these materials?

We decided to use 3D printing to create the structure of our solar car, for the reason that it would be sturdier and customizable, perfectly, to what we felt was most efficient for our car. The cardboard for our car, made it a lightweight design choice, that fit our theme. Many of the items were recycled things in our very on classroom.
