Cereal Box Rubber Band Powered Car
Goku Son commented "i have to make a car run at least 3 meters out of CDs, cereal box, rubber band, and etc. This is for my
Engineering challenge" so I checked my videos and realised that I haven't done a rubber band powered car based on a cereal box, probably because my cereals come in plastic bags.
Today I bought some cereal in a box so that I could make a suitable car. It covers the 5 metre length of my kitchen easily using the lightest of my rubber bands so the power could be upgraded if extra speed is required. I use strips cut from rubber washing-up gloves to give the back wheels extra grip.

Generally my projects are for my grandchildren to enjoy. OK, I enjoy them too. If anybody else likes them, that is a bonus. I like to keep my work as simple and basic as possible so that it can be copied easily and improved by anybody who wants to try themselves. I recycle or repurpose items rather than buy new and when I do buy I like to keep it cheap.
