Re: pic: Mousetrap car for engineering class

Nice car, i like the design for turning!

we did mousetrap cars last year, the main issue was getting the car started cause the gear ratio was too high, so I build a CVT for mine :-)

It was basically just a wedge, and i wrapped the string around the bigger part to get the car started, then as it unwound it would go to the smaller part of the wedge to move to a higher ratio.
