Pinewood Derby Car Scale

Pinewood Derby Car Scale With Center-of-Gravity (CG) Calculation Using Arduino

A key factor when building a pinewood derby car is its weight. The Boy Scouts of America and other organizations specify a weight of no more than 5 ounces. To improve performance many builders will add as much weight (mass) as possible up to that maximum allowable weight limit. What is often overlooked is the
