Mousetrap Car Day One

Due to some severe communication issues with my partner, the project did not go as planned for the first day.  We found ourselves without key parts to build the car.  However, we put our minds together and began work on a new design, one much simpler than our original plan.

Since we were at a loss for parts, our only step forward was:

• Drill big eye holes into the ends of the mousetrap.  These will hold skewers, which will server as our new axis. 
• The skewers will be centered in the eye holes and then we will apply cotton swabs to each side, these will work to keep CDs (not records) to the skewers.
• The reason we are not using Records is because they are too big, and it would be hard to set up the car without all four records touching each other and upsetting the path. 

It will be very important to  make sure the CDs are tightly fit on the axis.  This will help make sure that the car can achieve the maximum speed possible.  We will also need to put tape or some other source of grip on the CDs to make sure they have enough friction to propel forward.

In order to solve our biggest problem (not having supplies or time to get them), we will resort to finding materials around our house/room that can work for the project.
