Re: pic: Mousetrap car for engineering class
Mousetrap cars are awesome. Back in my day, the competition I did was scored as the product of the mass of the vehicle and the distance traveled. This being almost 15 years ago, I don't remember the exact numbers, but most vehicles were somewhere in range of a few hundred grams. Mine was almost 2 kilograms (I used a large block of 2x4 as the main base). It also traveled the second furthest of all, probably somewhere in the 10-20 meter range.
