The Paper Bag Mystery

Drivers/Team Members: Ajit Sandhu and Satnam Sarai

Maximum Number of Mice Carried: 13

Improvements to Vehicle: To improve our vehcile, we should of made a better bearing sytem for our wheels, rather than using the basic axles and brass tubing. Also we could of made our vehcile lighter than it actual was. The next adjustment should of been in the gear ratio which is controlled by the length of our rod connected to our mousetrap. So the basic modifications include a ligther body, and a better wheel design.

Price Sheet: CD Wheels (free, compliments of AOL), Axles ($1.00), Mouse Traps ($1.00), Balsa Wood ($3.00), Nuts and Bolts etc.( $1.00), Brass Tubing ($1.00)
Price Sheet: Total Cost of Vehicle ($7.00)

Suggestions for future years: Mabey increase the number of mice the vehicle needs to carry for the grade desired, or mabey increase the number of mousetraps available and instead of hauling computer mice, one might use weight instead. For further suggestions on the mousetrap contest or the class itself, ask Mr Klein for my e-mail address, and I shall get back to you when the time persists.
