Race Reflection and Competition Day

Competition
Our mousetrap cars average distance was 10 meters which was the distance you had to have to get full marks. Our vehicle weighed 462.3g which made it the heaviest car in the competition. Our car placed 5th in the distance trial. In the drag race we placed 6th with a time of 5.57 seconds.


Post Race Reflection


If were to modify my car design i would get a new record for the wheel because it was warped so it caused the wheel to wobble and turn the car.

If i were to build an all new car I would use lighter material and find wheels that were straight.

If we wanted to tweak our car to make it better we could have made a way for the string to stay tight and found a way to straighten out our wheels.
