Assembling the Body
1. Fold the cardstock car body in half lengthwise where indicated (Fig 1).
2. Holding on to the ends of the cardstock, smooth the body back and
forth over the edge of a table, graphic-side up (Fig 2). This will give
the car "roof" a curved shape when you attach it to the chassis and
prevent bubbles from appearing in the carstock.
3. Fold sharply along the dashed fold lines at either end of the body.
Lightly crease the remaining dashed line (Fig 3).
4. Attach the pieces of Velcro to the body where indicated by the dashed
squares, then attach Velcro to the back of the solar panel (Fig 4).
5. Wrap the folded ends of the cardstock over the ends of the chassis
and tape in place (Fig 5).
6. In a sunless area, attach the solar panel and the motor in one of two
ways:
• Use the alligator clips from the solar panel to clip to the ends of the
motor wires
• Loosen the screws on the back of the solar panel. Remove the clip
cords. Insert the ends of the motor wires directly into the terminals and
tighten the screws. You may want to cut and re-strip the motor wires to
make them shorter.
7. Attach the solar panel to any of the Velcro squares on the car body.
The angle of the solar panel can be changed on the fly to adjust for
the sun’s position.
6. Test the car in full sun; if it moves backwards, reverse the wires on the
panel.
7. Congratulations, your Solar Car is ready to go!
