In this lab, you were required to do three trials of each surface (sand paper, wax paper, duct tape, foil, paper towel, rubber, carpet, felt, shelf liner) at 3 different heights.  If you were absent, I have put just one video of each surface at each height.  You will just be able to put one number... not find the average.  Please watch the videos and record how much time it takes for the car to race down the track.
