Our mousetrap vehicle did great! Our car had great distance. It went over 16 meters. We came up with a good design. Having 3 records as wheels was a good advantage. Also the way we had the trap setup. We had it pulling the front axle instead of pushing the back axle.

Some useful tips if your building a mousetrap vehicle:

• Using records for wheels can be really beneficial 
• Having the mousetrap on the front axle made our vehicle go farther.
• Use a little extra wire or string attached to your mousetrap. If you wrap it up right it shouldn't get it tangled up.
