We will tie the string to the setter of the mousetrap, also attached to the back axel. When the mousetrap is snapped, the string will make the axel turn, converting potential energy into kinetic energy. The wheels will be made of cardboard, with rubber bands around them to create traction. A cardboard base will be cut out to support the mousetrap on the wheels.
Great idea - how are you planning on fixing the axel to the car while still allowing it to spin freely?
