We had to this for robotics. What parts do you need specific help on? Do you understand how to harness the power of the trap? If you do I can say you will want a four wheeled design to keep it stable, with really big rear wheels and the lever arm should be right above the rear axle.

You do realize that ajm51987 is trying to help you, correct?

For my two cents, perhaps you should see if Google contains some information.

Use a really long arm connected to the mouse trap, and have it pull a string that turns the axil of the back wheels (make sure their really big back wheels)
