The creativity of the mind is a powerful source, proving that innovation is creation. Engineering is the basis for establishing oneself in the application of discipline and knowledge towards a project. Our task was to develop a mousetrap car, which was difficult, basically it was something we had never done before. The design process was based on sourcing materials, designing the look of the car, and even modifying design flaws. So our task towards the car was to collect a large amount of information to develop an efficient and affordable mousetrap car. Then we will explain the process until the final result of our winning mousetrap machine. The difficult process of the machine was getting ideas for what it would look like and how it would work. Ideas were developed by experimenting with mousetrap and sketching. Then we developed from online sources which gave us a more realistic and visual look at the car. Coming up with the ideas and overall construction of the car took approximately 17 hours and 50 minutes. The time spent developing the car was worth it because it resulted in a well-managed potential mechanism. The materials used were very easy to work with and were mostly household items. The materials were 2 CDs, cardboard, 6 rubber bands, a mousetrap, string, glue, 2 pencils, used mini plastic car wheels, 5 zip ties, and 2 sticks (purchased). These were the materials we collected to develop the vehicle. They were all very practical and we didn't have to spend a large amount of money to get a high quality product. We relied primarily on simplicity, on how simplicity can be the ultimate sophistication. The car model is very simple in the way it works. The car runs independently... middle of paper......veled 19ft 4in. In our last and final test it traveled a total of 20 feet. These were the distances on flat terrain. Our second race was held on a 7.5 degree incline. our cell phone traveled a total of 15 feet on a 7.5-degree incline. To calculate our score we used a formula. [5(DF/20) + 5(DI/2) + (5-CF)] DF stands for flat distance, DI stands for inclined distance, and CF stands for total cost to build a car. To calculate our score we did 5(20/20)+5(15/2)+(5-3). So our overall score was 44.5. So the overall performance was a lot of fun but it was based on a lot of hard work and time invested in the model of the car. If you are determined to build something innovative, given time and effort, anything can be achieved, innovation is creation. Engineering is a potential course that mainly aims to ensure efficient performance by different facilities by looking outside the box.
