the begining of a new project

Well, we have just gotten our first assignment for our balloon car 1)To choose names,2)make sure the car can pass 5 meters and 3)of course pass this thing!! My partner and I are thinking of ideas to make our car the best and the fastest, plus also keeping in mind that if we don't pass the 5 meter line, we are going to get a 0/50. Which we do NOT want. As you see our name is TINE-Na because it represents the ending of our first names. We will keep you updated if anything changes...
