The FORMULA SCORPIO is a simple motorised vehicle, for students to design and construct. It is powered by a 4.5 volt to 6 volt electric motor, and students can select the vehicle’s gearing, dependent upon the speed and acceleration required.
The vehicle has been designed to provide an introduction to electro-mechanical devices.
It is also possible that several FORMULA SCORPIOS can be used to compete in a class environment. This puts the additional requirement on students to look into the effects of gearing on speed and acceleration, and to consider these factors in their vehicle design.
