Mouse trap car 191 feet!!! Ohara Catholic School

This is a clip of a mouse trap powered car. It traveled a distance of 191 feet. It's forward motion is powered by the mouse trap but the steering is radio controlled because we knew the gym wouldn't be long enough.

This is really interesting technology. I would like to see your gearing system. Congrats on 191ft.

@daandrewda Thanks! We've decided not to post close up pictures as this would surely spoil the mystique of the car.

A for distance and technology

[reddog815]

Thank you. I'm a little surprised that no one has tried to beat that distance yet.

@HunterEvans206 Got a video? Didn't think so....

[reddog815]

True, however most of those comments get deleted because the jealous also use foul language nearly every time.
