We can use up to 2 mousetraps. All materials must be obtained by us. Must be powered (directly or indirectly) by the mouse traps. The moustraps must remain 80% intact.
Must carry a payload with the dimensions of 2.5"x2.5"x2.5".
Run em on the 25 foot track, looking for the the lowest time.
Graded by the value determined by: Wt. of payload / time of run.
It was just an idea, but I didnt know how it was going to pan out.
I got thinking that 25 feet isnt all that far. If distance was what we were looking to achieve, I think the flywheel would take it. As it is, Im not sure.
And I have some good rubber wheels. Also, wouldnt driving from the front increase lateral stability? If it hits the wall its disqualified.
