Automatic Charge Station (ACS)

OOOOOOOOOOOK here is my first attempt at an Automatic Charge Station (ACS). What I did was solder tabs on the end of some wire and stuffed the other ends in with the battery. I then ran them out the back window and double taped the tab's to the rear of the car. (see pic) Then I took a block of balsa wood and drilled 2 holes with the same spacing as the tabs on the car. Then took some screws and ran them through the holes and wired them to a charge pad on an extra controler. Then I pinned the whole mess down to a puzzle mat and added guides so when I back the car in the tabs on the car would align with the with screws in the balsa block. It works kind of but I can't get real good contact so it only charges a little, But hey it's a proto-type. Anyone have ideas on how to make better contact ???
