Brake System you pull the rope that would come through a hole from the outside that is tied onto the axle to tighten the loop in the rope so its stops the axle spinning which stops the wheels
My design is made out of a big plastic barrel about 1cm thick, the 4 wheels are from a pram.
My shield/roof is made of fibreglass so the wind will go right over my trolley and make me faster.
The seats will be made out of two pieces of wood; one for the back rest and one to sit on, and then just nail or do something to stick cushions on both pieces of wood.

Things I will need help with
I think I will need help on putting the fibreglass shield/roof on so that you can open it from the inside and the outside, and maybe headlights if we decide they will be on there, also maybe the steering and seat belts.
