How to win a Pine Wood Derby... these aren't "cheats" or "hacks," but mostly allowable ways to reduce friction and weight distribution to create a faster car. Check your own Cub Scout or Boy Scout pack rules because they vary. Thanks to my cousin Jim who provided this advice, and his children have won packs and gone to state finals. The basic idea is less about weight (which is usually capped at 5 ounces so nobody creates a super heavy car that gravity favors). It's also less about aerodynamics, although that plays some part. The secret key to winning a Pine Wood Derby is to REDUCE FRICTION. The lower the friction, the faster the car. If a wheel is rubbing against wood or a nail is bumpy, the car will slow down. A well-lubricated, smooth wheel and axle will win every time. 1. Axles (nails): File down the nail (especially the protrusions near the head), then sand them nice and smooth. This is the most important point of friction. 2. Axle Head: File the inside of the head at an angle away from the center, b/c then less of the head will rub against the plastic wheel, thereby reducing friction. I put the nail into a drill to make it faster and more even. 3. Wheel Bottoms: if your rules permit, sand the wheel so the flat tread becomes rounded in a way that very little of the tread touches the road surface, which reduces friction. You want the least amount of wheel touching the track, but most rules forbid making razor sharp wheels. 4. Wheel Friction: watch that inside wheel .... + Informações

Designed and built as part of Adam's Inventing Merit Badge project Problem: "Parents have trouble seeing the finish line because Cub Scouts are sitting around it and blocking the view" He decided to build a camera system (with slow motion replay) that could be projected onto the wall, acting like a "JumboTron" at sporting events. This system was not used for judging or scoring, only for keeping the crowd excited at the event. For more information see the full blog post at www.raisinggeeks.com. + Informações

In this video I discuss painting or using a wood stain. I used a wood stain myself for this project. Painting is fun and there is an endless supply of designs that can be painted on your car. One important bit I left out of the video is do not paint over the axle slots. Leave it free from primer and paint. The paint will create friction slowing your car down. Once the wheels are applied those areas aren't visible.. + Informações

My son asked if we could make a Camaro for the Pinewood Derby. This turned into a great oppurtunity for him. He learned about changing the proportion of the car to fit into the Boy Scout's dimensional requirements, fixturing, router bits, sanding, and painting. We also included his little brother and made a car for him to sand and paint. Excuse the mess in the background, I'm in the process of rebuilding my shop at our new house! The background music is an instrumental I recorded last summer for an upcoming cd. I used one of my Corey James Custom Guitars, the Avid Eleven Rack, Pro Tools, and a cheap bass! Enjoy!
