I called this #20ish because I have lost the sequence of my rubber band powered cars. Mohamed Abdelmajid commented on my Rubber Band Powered Car #1 http://youtu.be/ClNHPuH99DU that his car project had to cover 10m and was measured on it's weight and speed. It also had a long list of rules and that inspired me to see what I could make that fitted that specification however I cannot test over 10m so I checked it hit my front door after travelling through my kitchen and hallway which is just under 9m. This is the result. Main components are - Cardboard tray from my supermarket 4 CDs or DVDs Pencil Barbecue skewer Drink straw Paperclips 8 Plastic bottle tops Balloon (for tyres for the CDs) Main tools - Sharp knife Hot glue gun Some helpfiles Making the CD wheels https://youtu.be/ZRrjBuWfmrM CD Wheels with Cardboard Hubs https://youtu.be/Js1rtn2IGTE Putting rubber tyres on CDs https://youtu.be/ZnuPnveCbxs Connecting rubber bands https://youtu.be/EbYuhdwknbs Connecting the band to the axle https://youtu.be/0wPYxloUFJQ Here is a selection of related playlists Toy Cars playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB3lGxxzEo_ZDnjnOtIlk50Q Rubber Band Power playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB1otXh0w36OwsYIHZznUWp6 Rubber Band Power Cars https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB3g5RiX8Kf_uUBOL0Tb7AS0 Rubber Band Power Car #8 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB0zJ5RHjvsw46Mio6uJjF5_ Rubber Band Power Car Back to Basics https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB3WKst8ubr8A_eAPMQlPGw- RBPC for Snowman plays247 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB0F2PNcApzXxp_nFkUjnCMt Brakes on Rubber Band Cars playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB3MyidvKMT3DqU1vNy9Atsf Carrying Dropping Pushing Pulling Stopping playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB04L6RpUAs5akmK3jqmahPL Rubber Band Power Planes https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB1iBkfCc2jzfTK6LA9Sh7vi Rubber Band Plane Prop Assembly Demo playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB3Xj24kixZAMLN6oaDu2_Z8 Rubber Band Powered Boats https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB1Pi_dNuFbsZd8q2G_zyjFS Rubber Band Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_band Size 64 rubber band measure 3 1/2"x 1/4"x 1/32" or 89mm x 6mm Other People's Rubber Band Cars https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB0dbQ1TpU4qJx4m85zK7MFa Bargain Store Projects https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB0ZqYUdxXaQaJdg-cs3dKIi Charity Shop Gold or Garbage https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5a2xPRSrB14bwwnAIt54ZWwWBktc445 I have thousands of videos on YouTube covering a wide range of subjects.

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. https://www.youtube.com/user/GrandadIsAnOldMan
