SUP3R CAR geared up!
In this bonus chapter, you will modify the SUP3R CAR to make
it faster! Using gears, you can increase the speed of the driving
wheels. The program needs to be modified as well. Actually,
only the Drive My Block must be changed, to accommodate for
the wheels change of position and direction of motion. Find out

editing the
Drive My Block
You should edit the Drive My Block, because adding the
gears changed the position of the rear wheels. In particular,
you must change the values of the two Constant blocks.
Change the first block parameter to 77 (the half-distance
between the rear wheels is larger than before). Change the
parameter of the second Constant block to 145 (the distance
between the front and the rear wheels axes is decreased).
The gears changed the speed and also the direction of
rotation of the rear wheels. So, change the formulas of the
Math blocks by removing the minus sign in front of the a
parameter, getting the formulas v a*(1-0.017*b*c/d) and
a*(1+0.017*b*c/d).
