Introduction: Multi-Use Rubber Band Car Launcher
this is a toy car launcher made of rubber bands. add ramps for extra fun. note: this can be used as many other things such a a jumps rope and other things you may find out by yourself. this is to be entered in the KLUTZ Rubber Band Powered Contest and I need your vote. Vote If You Like It!
Step 1: Materials
the materials needed are a lot of rubber bands (I used 24), a toy car (playmobile or fisher price dollhouse styles work well), and 2 nails or stakes.
Step 2: Prepare the Rubber Bands
Step 3: Plant the Stakes (or Nails)
now it is best to do this outside so you cant plant your nails or stakes easily. measure the length of your rope and put the nails a little bit shorter away form each other than that length.
Step 4: Prepare the Launcher
wrap the loops of the ends of the rope around the nails the keep the rope in place.
Step 5: Launch
put your toy car towards the center rubber band puul back all the way and release to launch the car. use ramps for added fun.
