Larger wheels have a larger diameter. Therefor, they will cover a greater distance per rotation of the driven axle, compared to a smaller wheel.
It is depended on the shape of the wheels to determine how much friction is applied.
So the CD won't get messed up and scratched and provide traction.
A mousetrap car is a vehicle that uses a mousetrap for its motor power. It was invented to help students develop spatial and problem-solving skills.
Slows it down
about 120 -130 grams
because the wheel make the mousetrap go forward but without the wheels the mousetrap stays in one place
you want to place your mousetrap as far away from the back wheels as possible

the smaller the wheel the lesser the weight, the mousetrap car would go faster,
the best wheels for your mousetrap car are CD's because when your car takes off the wheels will spin and send your car into a foward rolling motion also the CD's are light soo it will help you win your science award:)
Termites.
By transferring the spring energy to the drive wheels.
duct tape, mousetrap, wheels ( anything), pliers, end hooks, pop bottle ends,
The more weight over the drive wheels, the more traction.
ANSWER: I'm assuming by "mousetrap" car, you mean small car. Probably pretty obvious at that point that your car would have a.....small mass.
Use Cd's as wheels to make less friction
Lego wheels are the best...but we had a small selection to choose from, i would personally just strap the mice to the trap and hang food in front of them.
