I made one, powered by a mouse trap. one inch steel pipe, held 3/4 in wooden dowls for axles. With square blocks, drilled a 3/4 in hole for the dowl to go in, and then screwed that square to a CD, making the wheels.

The biggest fall, is I used at thick *** block of wood for the chassis, so it was heavy. But it went 6 feet..
