"We would recommend the Grass Kart challenge to anyone who has a passion for engineering, wants to take up a profession in the engineering trade, or even just likes working, and creating things out of metal.
The competition gives you a huge insight into what its like going through the stages of creating something out of metal from scratch and seeing it come to life.
It also teaches you things that you need to work on to get such projects completed, such as being good with working with metal, being able to co-operate with your team mates to get the job done, and learning good time management skills."-Quote from the Aurora College A team
"); //endquote quotes.push(""Our best advice for other teams would be:
PLAN your design carefully. Make sure you can do all the things you plan or you´ll spend too much time working out how to do things rather than just getting on and doing them.
Use a time line.
