Mousetrap Car Test#2

This is our second test after it is revised with wider front axel and some added weight for balance. We have two axel sizes and this is on the larger one, so it can go even farther!!
*yahay, it didn't fall over!!! :-)
*for this project we only needed to go 4 meters
*we hope to place in the distance race

Update:
We won the distance race!!!
Going down the hallway, it hit the wall, so we don't even know how far it will go!! In the runs it has reached around 40 meters!!!

Impressive (:

Me and my partner are doing this project for Physics and we don't even know where to start.

What did you guys use as the lever arm?

it is a algae scrapper from a fish tank, basically a wooden stick with a square plastic piece at one end

Good Luck!

Very nice! I have seen other cars with the large wheel and too narrow in the front, the car is tippy. Good job on finding the construction materials also. Bill Kuhl
