The mouse trap car called “Tadashi” was a work in progress because of the mistakes made along the way. But in the end it finally worked out to be a total success, and it got the ten points it deserved. In the beginning it seemed like a really weird design that might not make it to the end. Yet when it was put together it started to seem much more promising than expected. Of course it wasn’t the best car out there, but it made it to the goal line and that’s what really mattered.

The string was wrapped around 15 times around the axis, and it seemed to be doing fine stay around the axis. When it was initiated the car went terribly wrong.

It did make a few feet, but only with some “encouraging” pushes. It made a grand total of 1 minute and 50 seconds, which was very tiring to watch. The other strings weren’t that crazy of stories. The next was loose yarn string which worked much better than the lanyard string, but not as much as it could’ve. It was really slow to untangle, so it took up to 1 minute and 20 seconds. The next one that was used was a sturdy string that was made of wool…
