=**__Objectives __**= design. In doing so, we will also learn about engineering cars and the different systems that it is composed of. Another one of our motives would be to study movement and how certain types of modification can improve the efficiency of our car. Through the processes of building, thinking and exploring, we should not only gain knowledge, but also have fun..
 * __﻿ __** Our main objective is to build a mousetrap car, specifically designed for long-distance travel and

__**Materials **__
 * The mousetrap is used to power vehicle.
 * Styrofoam or box was used for the body of the mousetrap. Styrofoam is light enabling the car to move easily.
 * The wheels are made of recycled compact discs.
 * The level arm is made of wood chopsticks and glue to the string. String that is light and can easily be adjusted or winded for an easier and smoother car movement.
 * Wheel axles are made of wire and then cut appropriately for the size of the car.
 * For the outer look of the car, we made use of decorative materials and different colors of paint.

 **__ HOW'S IT GOING, SO FAR (May 2, 2011) __**
 *  We are not too sure which way to put the mousetrap.
 * ** We may use either a box or wood to make the car. **
 * ** We need to decide on what the level arm and string should be made of. **

 * <span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 3em; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="color: #7bd0e5; font-family: 'Lucida Console',Monaco,monospace; font-size: 16px;">we are definitely using wood for the car.
 * <span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 3em; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="color: #7bd0e5; font-family: 'Lucida Console',Monaco,monospace; font-size: 16px;">we've pretty much got the level arm and string down pat.
 * <span style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0.5em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 3em; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="color: #7bd0e5; font-family: 'Lucida Console',Monaco,monospace; font-size: 16px;">and the back wheel axle is in place!
