Materials: steel welding rod, VICTOR mousetrap, copper wire, aluminum tubing, string.
This mousetrap car began by embracing the unspoken ingenuity of the mousetrap itself, mirroring it's utilitarian construction and junk-drawer color pallete. This is not so much a car powered by a mousetrap as it is a mousetrap that grew wheels. As construction evolved, it developed into a strange creature that takes on a rickety, whimsical presence. One might say it is as rediculous as the concept of making an aesthetically pleasing mousetrap car.
It should be mentioned that this car was entered into a competition and won second place in the catagory of aesthetics. It went about 20 feet (above average), and makes a very odd sound.
