A picture of my cheat mousetrap car: This is a small toy car as you can see in the pictuer, which was build by using the material which was not legal to use or you can say it was the illegal way to use that material or build a mousetrap car. I brou ght it in the contest just for fun.

Suggestions for next year contest: My suggestion is that the rules should have some changes, Such as there should be a limit on mousetraps used to power the vehicle. Rest of the changes should be made by the students, and I don't want to spoil t heir fun and creativity of making their own individual vehicles. Its really good experience.
