Trapster Race @UW @UWArtSci

Students in Assistant Professor Magnus Feil’s intermediate Industrial Design studio class (Art 317) have designed small vehicles powered solely by off-the-shelf mouse traps. They will be racing the trapsters on Thursday, 02 February 2012, to see which one functions best. The race will be in rooms 327/329 of the Art Building from 9:30-11:20am. Note that this is a different day than was originally shown on the School of Art calendar. Read an article or watch a video about the first Trapster Race in 2009. Below are pictures of three of this year’s vehicles during the design process.
