Vehicle Name “The Cobra” Team Members Sam Waters Mice Carried “The Cobra” carried approximately 21 computer mice. Improvements The vehicle would have carried at least 50 mice if the friction due to the threaded axles had been reduced. The axle consisted of a threaded rod and hinges. Every fourth turn or so the threads would throw the axle off a little. Ordinary fishing line was used to turn the rear axle. This could have been improved with a material that could have provided more grab on the rear axle. Price List Suggestions The only suggestion I would make is that the contest should be harder. Everyone easily carried the amount of mice to get an A or B grade. Also, bearings are a good idea and increase the level of competition. However, bearings should be homemade and not store bought. This would increase the fun of the competition.

Not bad for three hours worth of work.
