Oh, just a quick note, they did medal in this event.bernard wrote:The team presented the original packaging and it was marketed as a mouse trap.Fridaychimp wrote:Apparently at nats fossil ridge was running with animal traps that weren't specifically meant for mice, but were still within the size specs, and the ES let them run without construction violations.
