Default A brutal apocalypse of twisted, tormented steel...

Or it could work. The following picture is of a project that my year 9s are working on. They are making a 'battle tank', using 2 starter motors and OHC gears and timing belts as tracks. I have doubts about the chassis being able to withstand the sudden torque of the 2 starter motors being used for motivation. I relayed this reasonable point to my year 9 group who have taken it upon themselves to ignore my hapless bedwetting concerns. Thusly I have instructed my seriously deranged students to not fire it up until I have covered every angle with video cameras. This thing is either going to shoot off into the distance at a rapid rate or self destruct in an ominous and spectacular paroxysm of apocalyptic rage and biblical scale destruction.

I have welded the cam gears to the starter motor pinion shafts as shown in the pics.

Update soon...

Hopefully...
