Guidelines1. The car must be made by the student only.2. The car should be fully assembled by the student prior to the event. 3. The car must have a body to carry the banana safely. The car must securely

transport the banana the entire way. 4. Students may only use the wheels and axles from a store bought car. 5. The car must have a way to “hook” to the launcher. The car needs a hook at the

bottom, to attach the launcher’s rubberband. 6. Seat belts and decorations are optional.
