STANLEY DAREDEVIL MOUSETRAP POWERED VEHICLE

 

CREATED , DESIGNED, & OPERATED BY:

GERALD J. STANLEY

 

Due to technical difficulties this vehicle did not reach the end of the ramp. It did however leave the start line under its own power and drive upwards toward the end of the ramp. It ran off the side and crashed and burned. The number one vehicle sustained damages and was unable to reach the end of the ramp on subsequent runs.

There are two changes I would like to recommend for future competitions. First I would lessen the slope of the ramp slightly maybe to around 10% grade. Second, the prerace inspections should take place more than a week before competition. This would allow more time to work out bugs prior to the actual racetime.
