Help on Mousetrap Car !

Hello, good afternoon.
I would ask you for the help of my work in physics.
As you well understand, I'm not North American and my English is very bad.
I am Brazilian and I ask the help of you using the Google translator. :blushing:

Well, as I was talking to you, I have to develop a MouseTrap Car.
And I have no idea of how to begin making such a car.
I have to mount a racing car, where the most time wins.

I would you please help me to develop this project, because we do not understand anything about this.:cry:

I hope that with the help of you I can mount an optimal car, and can learn the subject.Do not hesitate to give aid ...
Good afternoon again, and thank you very much.

Hello azimovas! Welcome to PF! :smile:

(I assume you mean the least time wins? :wink:)

I've never tried to make a mousetrap car, but google will give you plenty of sites, for example:

Not necessarily. He might mean which vehicle runs the longest. There are several different factors that could be used as a goal.
Nice link.
 


Thank you guys !
I mean, i'll win that.

Let us know how you get on! :biggrin:
 


What are the rules?
Are you limited to a specific set of "ingredients" to use for the car?
 


The most important rules are:
Chassis, the wheels and axles of the car can be made of any material provided they are not considered dangerous.
You can only use a trap.
________________________________
The track is 80 cm wide and 3 meters in distance. Those who finish the first track, without leaving it wins.
__________________________________
I believe that the material must be well light.
The wheels we should build, I mean, we can not get something done.

Ty Guys :biggrin:
