After watching countless other videos on how to make this, and spending over 13 hours failing over and over, this video is the one that best helped me. Thank you!!

YOU ARE AN ABSOLUTE GENIUS. Just reached 35 meters using this brilliant build. I’m forever in debt to you!

thank you so much! this was the easiest tutorial To make a mousecar Ive found! Saved me and my classmate a lot of stress and helped us ace this assignment. When there were issues, it was easy to take apart and fix quickly. Also, our car went 25+ feet!

this deserves a lot more attention (: Thanks for your help

My son added 3 zip ties around arm for stronger hold. Also, tested floss, twine and balloon string worked best. We got too much glue seeping out and created friction. ....be careful of that. Great video & totally saved the day!

I have watched this video for nearly 8671.26.09 hours, I am truly stunned by this mans remarkable ability to make such a stunning Mouse Trap Car. He definitely perfected his craftsmanship using the Guadiana Bamboo sticks. Very Lovely! I give it 5 out of 7 Points

Thank you very much, with the help of this video we won the school competition 🎉🎉

[colincormier]

Cant tell you how much this saved my grade. Did a 3 week project in 3 days and went triple the goal of 25ft (69ft!)

[AD-dghc]

Remade my car 2 times, Just tested it out and it finally works!

[thuydung_cvnguyenngoc]

Omgg I got the 1st place in our “Mouse Trap Car competition” in Physics 🎊🥺 Your video helped me a lot to build an easy car but really effective, and it worked out of my expectation. Thank you so much!

[jasoncox]

This design is goated. It went 113 feet for me.

[JawsFlawz]

I got a 100 on my engineering project because of this video. Tysm

Currently doing this at three in the morning after winter break for school couldn't be doing any better thanks for making the tutorial super easy really appreciate it :)

[arkiplayer]

Thanks I am a grade 6 student and this only took an hour this got me an A on a race where you started on a slope and you have to go off the kenetic energy from the slope and try to get first. Not only was this car quite good on its own the mousetrap got me first place thank you much

[Ramthegoa.t]

POV you procrastinated on your school project till the last day

[sweeet]

Couple recommendations for this

1. Use a shoelace instead of ribbon/string. It’s much stronger and less likely to snap and easier to wrap.
2. Put tape under the back wheels for traction

[etcrafter]

WOW!! I have to do this for s school project. And oh my! This was buy far the easiest tutorial. Also all the material you probably have (maybe except for the mousetrap) This is great!!!
