So, a mouse trap would be a small block, and a rat trap would be a big block?

Post by: Psydia on May 28, 2010, 08:20:32 AM: Yes and no at the same time. But rat traps usually aren't made of wooden block. Instead, they are made of a sheet of metal and have spikes at a side of it and have more powerful springs compared to mouse traps. As a consequence if a car is built with rat traps it will go further.
