Today was our last class to finish building our mousetrap car as well as marked the beginning to start testing our mousetrap cars. Today, we managed to finish assembling our car, yet when we tested it out, we realized that it would not pick up speed due to its weight. We figured that if we were to drill holes in the frame, it would reduce the weight of the mousetrap car and would enable our car to pick up more speed and to be able to travel farther.
Lesson we learned today:
Heavier = more friction
Lighter = less friction
