         <description><![CDATA[We could reduce friction by adding smooth plastic washers where the wheels meet the axles and sanding down any rough surfaces on the base. Less friction means more of the rubber band's energy goes into forward motion rather than being lost as heat.]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[Adding larger back wheels while keeping smaller front wheels could help because it creates an angled chassis. This design helps transfer more energy into forward momentum and reduces the chance of the front lifting during launch.]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[We could experiment with multiple rubber bands connected in parallel instead of just one. This configuration might provide more consistent power delivery throughout the launch, helping the racer maintain speed for a longer distance.]]></description>
