Mousetrap Vehicle Design By Jack Comsa
Supplies • 1 Mousetrap • 4 Eye Hooks • 4 CDs or DVDs • 2 soda can openers that go on the top (From the 12oz Pepsi cans. • Electrical Tape • Fish wire • Paper Clip • Appliances: • Drill • Pliers • Wood Piece
Components • Break System: Attach a small wood piece to the bottom, when pressure applied the wood piece will come down and stop the front two wheels. • Starting System. When the mouse trap snaps down, the force of the trap snaps, starting the mousetrap vehicle. • Wheels: The wheels will be CD’s and will go on the axels. They will roll once the mousetrap snaps. • Steering/ Speed Control: Weight will help the speed and steering by guiding it to the tracks. • Energy: The snap traps will give it an ultimate push.
Test Plan • Once finished, I will test the vehicle on a flat surface, while putting down oppsticals to test all the systems, mainly the breaks.
