Hey everyone this is my mouse trap car I created in the 8th grade (2005) and Ive recently came across it while looking for something in my closet. I used paintlids as the wheels and on the back lids installed some rubber bands for grip. Also I added 2 rubber bands to increase the arms power. All 3 arms of the car and the 2 braces are made of carbon fiber arrows I have from bow hunting. I used JB weld to hold the arrow shafts together. I also welded bearings to the paintlids and a metal rod as an axel. This care won first place at my school race and I recieved a 100... Thank you for watching and make sure to see all my other videos!
