Yeah, this is Robin Hu's mousetrap car. This thing can go about 6 meters or more, but I'm not sure because I have not been able to test it on good ground. 6 meters is just an estimate. My car is JUST under 12 inches which is the requirement. Of course, it has to be wound up otherwise its still a couple inches too long. Originally, had we not had a length restriction, I would have built a really long car with a really long arm. But this is the best I can do. With a smooth floor, this car can travel probably up to 25 feet, but I'm not sure. OFFICIAL DISTANCE Oct, 24, 2003: 10 meters or 32 feet.
