i gotta make a mousetrap car but i dont know any good designs
can anyone help me design one...?
Mousetrap car? Like somehting to chase rats? Clever.
First of all, try to get the measures of the rat height and the height from the floor to the car (from below the car). Try to test many possible actions the rat could make and prepare to go shopping.
Try to get a Remote control car (Try to buy it big, cheap and flashy as possible, but first make sure that the rat could easily make contact with the part below the car), then take the chasis of if it's to heavy, if you can, remove some components that are not important. Then, buy and install the mousetrap below the wheels, and since there's isn't cheese scent spray, you can buy a chocolate scent spray, rats are highly addictive to chocolate, then spray it carefully all around the mousetrap, make sure you bought the most powerful scent, if this doesn't work, talk to an exterminator and ask him how to lure an average rat and that can be attached to a mousetrap.
If you did everything I told you, your model would look something like this:

The point of my theory is to persuade the rat to come to the car, the remote function is just when the rat is in the trigger zone, so you start it, and the rat could just have minimum chances of escaping. In other words: Don't chase the rat, just wait when the rat comes close enough to the trap and start the car.
Any doubts PM me.
