          With all of our consistent hard work, we created our mousetrap car. But we are still not over yet. Here is a video of our beautiful product...

Failure: The holes for the axels on the popsicle sticks were not aligned.

Victory:  We built the car and it works.

    this looks great!

    as you move forward - how are you going to calculate the spring potential energy of your "engine" and given that, what is the ideal KE of you car? How are you going to harness that potential energy and maximize the velocity of your car?

    keep up the good work!
