Our mousetrap vehicle went 7.19 meters. That was the farthest it went out of all three of its runs. In the drag race our vehicle ended up in second. 

If i wanted to modify our vehicle I would change how we attached the axles. The axles looked like they were bent and I noticed that when the wheels moved the axles would rub on the plastic tubing. I would add some type of lubricant to help the wheels rotate on the axle easier. 

If I wanted to build a completely new car I would build a car with only two wheels so that It would not have as much friction as a car would with four or three wheels. 

To make our vehicle work better to go a little bit farther I should have paid more attention to the axles.
