Design#3

This design uses the idea of Newton's third law. It has the basics of a sling shot. A cardboard or wood square "u" out be built. On it a rubber band would be connected to it on the tips of the shape. the car would be placed inside the shoot and the rubber band and the car would be pulled back. The release of the rubber band would propel the car forward. The equal and opposite force would hopefully build up enough momentum to move it forward the 5 tiles. The car would be made out of two sponges hot glued together with axles and wheels attached in between the two layers.
