This years GSCE Engineering exam is based on remote controlled toys, such as cars and helicopters. You will have to research and revise how they are manufactured and how they work. Below is a mind map of what you will need to research, you can use the materials, processes, basic electronics and manufacturing pages of this website to help you start revising.
The areas you are going to need to research and revise ready for the exam:
Below are some videos, websites and diagrams to help you answer the questions above. It lessons you are going to do some work on this where the outcome is to develop a revision mat on how a RC car is manufactured. Also make sure you use the materials and processes pages on this website to help you devise your revision mat.
RC Cars and Toys Videos:
- How is the casing of a RC car made? and what material is it made from?
- What components are used on the RC car circuit board? What are their symbols?
