Hints for Better Vehicles:
~Tires are not spheres, they're cylinders
~Create your own design by putting together basic shapes, don't use pre-made designs (like tires)
~Not all the shapes on Tinkercad are meant to be printed, be careful.
~You need to design the ENTIRE vehicle, don't copy others ideas
~File named: Team#Vehicle (Example: Team43Vehicle)
