- Overall, I believe our vehicle was very consistent being the only vehicle that went over 10 meters every time. The distance portion we held the record with 16.4 meters which was the furthest by a couple meters. Our drag race was a very disappointing run because the wire snapped off the axle causing the mousetrap to snap and the vehicle to have no movement. We knew that the distance was our main goal as that is where all the marks came from.

- We could stabilize our wheels on our vehicle to allow the wheels to roll properly giving our maximum distance we could travel. Another possibility is to reduce the size of wheels for the drag race portion of the competition so we could have a quicker acceleration and actually stand a chance in the race.This answer refers to both the second and fourth question from the Science Blog.
- I would make the chassis smaller and the wheels smaller to have an overall lighter weight. There is not much other then that, that would improve our vehicle as it had a great performance.
