in physics we have the option of making a mousetrap car if we want to. i was wondering if anybody else in here has built one. did any of you do something that made your car extra original and special. i can find info for myself on how to build a car, etc. i'm just wondering if any of you did something original to the structure which made a great difference and what that thing was.

i did one, but if was in 8th grade and one of the hardest assignments i've ever had (remember i was just a middle schooler) but then again i had very limited knowledge of physics at the time

we never did that project.. we did however make rollercoasters.. it took like the last 3 weeks of school.. was a very very interesting project. had to figure out the equations and stuff for every element.. had to do a complete loop and our ball had to make three complete runs on our track without flying off.
