First Day of Construction of the Mousetrap Car!

The first day of construction of the car did not go as me and my partner expected... We began by trying to get the wheels off the toy car we bought. The wheels did not seem to want to come out at all, and soon we found out that it was because the car was a remote controlled so it did not have an axle! That was a big disappointment because we planed on using the axle from the toy car on our mouse trap car. We were finally able to take the wheel off and decided to use the wood stick, we had bought for extending the lever of the mouse trap, as the axle. We drilled a whole on the four wheels so that they fit through the wood stick, and on the mouse trap so we could insert the eye hooks on the second construction day. Our first day of construction was not as easy as I expected it to be, but we ended up figuring out how to make it work! Looking forward for the second day of construction!
