Mousetrap Car Race 2007

Mousetrap car? What is it? Some people might have wondered what exactly the Mousetrap car is. It is a physics project in which students design and construct a vehicle with single mousetrap as its sole source of propulsion. A mouse-trap car is powered by the energy of a wound up mouse-trap's spring. Energy stored in the spring would cause the vehicle to travel in distance if it was under good construction.
