Teacher, I have a question ?

Regarding the video above about the 8 wheeled car, I see that a major challenge was winding the copper around the motor. My question is; Why not melt the copper and mold it to a thickness around the piece? Would a solid piece of copper conduct better than hundreds of wound turns?

Just seemed like the obvious answer ...
