Tacking in the wind

In a high school physics class I made a Styrofoam board with golf ball (the type with the holes) wheels. I made the mistake of cutting the board thinking that mass would slow down the board. However I learned a bigger board would make the board less likely to be experience lift which needs to be corrected by more intensive gravity.

Supplies

Styrofoam board
Then you put the golf balls on dowels ducked taped to the bottom of the Styrofoam board. Then put a dowel in the middle of the board and wrap the folder around the upward pointing dowel. To track, you point the folder so it is at an angle. For example to track to the left you would put the folder at 160 degree angle so it is pointing left. Be sure to cut the tabs off the folder or else that would prove unpredictable.
