Hot Wheels Track Builder Rapid Launcher Accessory

Product Information

About: I'm Mario Caicedo Langer (M.C. for short), a Colombian STEAM educator living in Azerbaijan, BSc in Naval Sciences and former Navy officer. I am a CAD and 3D Printing enthusiast and an artist specialized in jun… So I created this easy-and-cheap-to-build car catapult (a "car-tapult"?). I made two prototypes and tested them with three different toy cars: a Hot Wheels "Batman Live! Batmobile", a Matchbox "MTN XT" and a generic bootleg car (suspiciously branded "Motor Wheels"). I'm in the process of improving the design, but until now, I'm happy with the results. Searching on Instructables, I found this tutorial from DotatDabbled. Very interesting, cool and well executed. But considering my objective, I have the following issues: corrugated cardboard or wood rectangular piece (I used 16 cm x 7.5 cm, but maybe you will have better results with one of 18 cm x 7.5 cm)

Conversely, you don’t want to buy a set that will be too difficult if you are buying it for a younger sibling or relative. For those just getting into Hot Wheels, it is wise to buy them something that will spark their imagination, but not be over complicated enough to kill their enthusiasm. My idea was to make a Hot Wheels launcher using simple materials, as a project for teaching kids in a funny way about mechanical engineering, specifically about the potential and kinetic energy concepts. Place a piece of double sided tape or glue a piece of foam on the binder clip of the launcher, to avoid dents when the launcher hits the car.By providing my child’s information, I certify that I am the parent or legal guardian of the child or that I have legal authority to submit the child’s information. Keep collections to yourself or inspire other shoppers! Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. Now, draw a parallel line on each side, distanced 1.65 cm from the center line (3.1 cm + 0.2 cm = 3.3 cm between rails; 3.3 cm / 2 = 1.65 cm).
