This document provides instructions for building a mousetrap vehicle (MTV). It describes how to: 1) Drill holes and attach eye hooks to the short ends of a mousetrap to create attachment points for axles. 2) Modify the mousetrap's spring bar so it is parallel to the long side and will provide leverage and energy to launch the vehicle. 3) Cut and bend pop tabs from soda cans to grip a pencil and attach it through the eye hooks to create the MTV's axle.

tops of the two pop l:UII tubs (where they uttnch to the can). Slightly bend the cut tabs, These bent-in tabs will be used to grip the pencil.
