(aiyin, ___) walk to the front and introduce yourself to the judges.

(tzebey,___) set up

Aiyin (tzebey in charge comp-slides 1 2 3 ) : (slide1 don’t point to the slide, just start) Good morning, we’re from Penang Chinese Girls’ High School, and our team name is Valence Code. (slide2, turn and back, let them focus on the logo) This is our logo. It comprises of two concepts that we use in the designing of the car. They are the falcon’s wing and the teardrop shape. The falcon’s wing represents speed and the teardrop shape is being applied for its wonderful streamlined shape. The colour scheme of our project is grey, silver, black and brown. Now, let me introduce my team members and the role they play. (slide 3) First of all, I, as the team leader have the responsibility to plan and ensure that the whole project runs smoothly. I am also the designing engineer of Valence Code and is in charge of all the designs, which include the design of our logo, t-shirt, car and templates. Next, (point) this is the graphic designer of our team. She is in charge of all matters concerning the use of computers to design, such as the design of our portfolio, flyers and name cards. (point) she is our manufacturing Engineer. She does all the finishing touches for the car. She also does the analysis report and is in charge of virtual wind tunnel test. (point) This is our Resource Manager. She is in charge of our sponsorships and researches for our project. Now, she will be giving a brief presentation on the researches of our project. (hands out , point ah rou rou)

Xinrou (aiyin takeover) : I am chong xin rou, the resource manager of our team, Valence Code. I will be giving a presentation on the researches done. (slide 4)Let me introduce to you the theory we use in the designing of our car, that is AEROdynamics. First of all, what is aerodynamics? Aerodynamics is a branch of dynamics concerned with the study of the motion of air. One of the main characteristics of our theory , aerodynamics is the streamline shape. Take a look at the picture behind me, (point) this is an example of a streamline shape car. Streamline shape enables a better airflow. It causes less friction between the air and the object when they come into contact, which then brings us to the next point that I am going to present, reducing drag. This means that, with streamline shape, we are able to reduce the drag of our car. The drag of an object varies according to different shapes. A sphere object creates medium drag when it comes in contact with the flowing air. Whereas objects with square edges create maximum drag. However, objects shaped like airfoils are able to create minimum drag. This is because they apply the theory of aerodynamics, which enables easier airflow and less drag. Very good examples of these objects are the aptera motors and the loremo. They are cars that apply aerodynamics in the designing of the car. Besides this, the theory aerodynamics also enables an uplift force to be created. Please allow my team’s graphic designer to talk about the concept we use.

HsiehZhen : I’m H’ng Hsieh Zhen, the graphic designer of our team After researching, we decided to use falcon’s wing or peregrine’s wing and the tear drop shape as our concept.. Before I further elaborate on the falcon’s wing as one of our concepts, let us just take a brief peek of the stupid lame joke that we made. Anyway, let us get back to our topic. Falcon’s wing compromises with the streamline shape that my teammate has presented earlier. Take a look at the wings of the falcon, it has a beautiful streamline shape that enables it to fly fast. And do you know that the falcon is a speed record holder, it is widely known as the fastest animal on earth. And that is why we choose to use the falcon’s wing as our concept in the designing of our car. We are truly inspired by the falcon’s wing to create a fastest car that is compatible with any other car present. Next, let us look at the teardrop shape, it is a very cute little teardrop that you see here and don’t get me wrong, one teardrop can mean Everything, as it does for our car. The tear drop shape enables easier air flow because of it’s streamline shape. And also because of the streamline shape, it is able to reduce the drag caused. As soon as we have decided on our concept for the project of designing our car, we then came out with sketches of the car. ……

Tzebey: I’m Lim Tze Bey, the manufacturing engineer of our team. I’m very serious. After the designing of our car by our designing engineer, we analysed our car on a pragramme called Phoenix. The main aim of analyzing our car was to find out how fast our car was, and the drag of our car. After a few changes and improvements on designs of our car, we decided to stick to one final design. Behind me is the analysis report from the programme on our first car. First of all, let us look at the analysis report on the pressure of our car. According to the report, as we can see, a higher pressure can be found on the top surface of the previous design of our car, which can be seen clearly in orange colour. We predicted that this was because these parts are exposed to the incoming airflow. Which in turn, made us realize that we had to change our car design. So we made a few improvements on our car design, and here it is, the final analysis report of our present car.

………………………… Next, let us take a look at the analysis report of the velocity of our first car. According to the report, our car can be seen in mainly green colour. This shows that our car has an average velocity. And then, when a second report on our final car was released, we found out that the velocity had increased. ……………….. After we had finalized the design, we started on the manufacturing of our car. First of all, we went to Penang Free School to learn how to operate the machine to manufacture our car. We chose 3 suitable balsa woods for our car and then placed the balsa wood in the machine. Then, the machine did the rest of the work for us. Still, we had to manually operate the machine at times. After that, we sandpapered our car, and then airbrush-painted our car with the help of some professionals. Later on, we attached the bearings onto our car. And with that, our car is officially done!!
