Sherrie Van Der Vliet asked "I need to make a rubber band powered car go 4 meters in less than two seconds. Can you help me?" I already have rather a lot of rubber band powered cars in my Rubber Band Power playlist so the real challenge was to make one different to my previous projects.
YouTube prevents me from answering people who have blocked replies, so if you don't get a reply to your question that may be the reason. It is probably worth reading my video description first because the answer may already be there. If you need a reply make sure your Google+ privacy settings allow replies from users that are not in your circles or add me to your circles first.

Generally my projects are for my grandchildren to enjoy. 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.
