My Mousetrap Car:
My mousetrap car was more designed fordistance than speed. The length of the lever,the size of the wheels, and other parts ofthe car all are the components of a car builtfor distance. However, my car is still prettyfast. I found my design of the car online. I usedthe base and the wheels from on design,however I tweaked the length of the leverand the position of my mousetrap on thebase.
How I Built My Car:
