Oh, what better a way to start off the new semester than by building a racecar? Why, building a racecar using a mousetrap, of course! In this Instructable, I will not only show you how to build a mousetrap car, but also some tips and tricks that I learned in my own building process. Back off, PETA. No animals (or pet rocks ;]) were harmed in the making of this Instructable.
