Rules and Regulations
1 The car must be powered by the mouse trap. The original mouse trap has to be part of the car. You may not remove the spring or lever from the trap.
2 Your car must travel or exceed the distance of two meters in a straight path.
3 You may extend the length of your car. It can not be any shorter than the length of the trap.
4 You can use factory wheels and axles, or you may design your own. You can not attatch the trap to an existing vehicle (ex. Tonka Toy). Custom wheels and axles work best.
5 Use what you have learned in Unit 2, along with your problem solving skills when designing your machine or mouse trap car.
