That’s 100 grams and a mousetrap weighs from 60-70 grams. Add the axles, wheels, dowel, and string you get at LEAST 200 grams. Correct me if I’m wrong.

I'm at around 200 grams, but it's definitely doable in 100.
Mousetraps weigh about 40, body can be 10, breaking system 15, 5 grams of front axle + power arm and 40 grams worth of wheels.

I think everyone "hopes" to get 5 points. User anonymous with 3 posts, seems likely to be trolling.

200 is decently easy to achieve. Sub 150 with high accuracy is when things become difficult.
