Post Race Reflection.

Our mousetrap car was a nearly gold medal champion! It went over ten meters in all three distance runs and went a little over 17.2m to gain second place in distance! If I could i would us a longer strand of string to move the vehicle! This would make the mouse trap pull the entire way not just three quarters of the way. If i could build an entirely new car i would use a different type of materials. The body of the car would be wooden instead of foam and i would of had a stronger way to attach the wheels. To tweak the car to make it perform better i would tighten the wheels and make the string a little bit longer.
