Mousetrap Car
Mousetrap Car
This is my team's moustrap car for Fundamentals of Mechanical Engineering. Restricted to using only two mousetraps and rubber bands, the vehicle had to complete precisely 1.5 laps of a 10-ft diameter course. Our vehicle was designed with a smaller wheel on one side so that it naturally drives in a circle. We used a pulley system to increase power generated from the rubber bands. We placed in top 5 out of 34 teams.
