I added a section to the Mousetrap Vehicle wiki, on how to build a vehicle in one night. Hope this will be helpful!

Hey, what are you guys finding that works the best for wheel grip on CDs? I am using electrical tape right now, is that good?

That should be fine, but I personally prefer latex balloon strips.

Is there an advantage for using latex strips?

I'm not sure, although I would think that they will have a better grip.

Illusionist, can you post a link to where to purchase them? I was looking online and could not find em'. Thank you so much!

Oh, you actually don't have to purchase them. Just take a regular old balloon (not the shiny helium ones, but the normal rubber ones) and while holding it flat on a table (no air in it), cut a horizontal strip about 1 inch wide from the center of the balloon. Once you do that, you'll have a loop/ring. Just put this over the outside edge of your CD's.

Thank you for the directions!

When you make your vehicle faster where do you attach tape to? The whole back axle? Parts of it?
