Mouse Trap Car: Journal 14

Today Kevin and I screwed the mouse trap into a set positionon our car. We then decided to test it out in the classroom. It really didn't work to well. I had wound the sting to close to the frame and it had been rubbing up against the yardsticks. Then I wrapped it around the axel more carefully and tried it out in the hall in went about 116 feet that was very cool. After we tweak the car and maximize the distance it will go about 150-175 feet. Below is a picture of Kevin with the car.
Yesterday in Advisement, Kevin and I put our car together once again. This time it has about minimal to zero wobble and with a slight push it just keeps on rolling.
Here is a picture of what we accomplished in advisement.
