For this project, I designed and built a mousetrap-powered car as part of my physics class. I anticipated challenges like torque distribution and keeping the car moving in a straight line, which helped me avoid issues others encountered.

By addressing these problems early on, I was able to focus on optimizing the car's performance, and I won first place in the Mousetrap Car Contest.
