Bat Cave
Effects of Temperature
Battery Unit
• The heater is a 72-volt unit. It is primarily used to defog the windshield. Using it will rapidly deplete the batteries, shortening your range.
• From the owner’s manual

Our Future Building Plan
Future Development
• More testing• Strength of materials
Possible Future Ideas
• Explore ways to turn the motion of crank into turning power for the arm using some form of gear
• Build a model of the Zap car and arm for small scale testing
Conclusion
Our idea provides a simple, reliable, and cheap solution to moving the car into the bat cave
