“I just used math,” he said, shrugging as if that were the easiest thing in the world. “I had to figure out how many grams could one balloon hold up, then I kept adding until I got to six. “The basic gist is that with some basic math to figure out how many balloons can lift up 5 grams — or about 4 pieces of candy, which is about what some people give out — I figured out that you will need about 10 or 11 balloons to carry the weight and count the force it will take to open the basket. That basket, with a door that needs just a little bit of force but still strong enough to keep the candy inside, is tied to a remote control car which makes the basket navigational, and a second string will be tied to the door of the basket which will be glued onto a rod, which will be attached to the wheel.”
