Designed for Good by Philip Cleaver

This article is about a group of classmates who

decided to design and build a trap to catch possums

that were damaging the plants.

The idea came into their mind when Craig Bond, one of the

designers got a   flat tyre while driving around. He was helped

by a stranger who helped him by using a small canister of

compressed gas to inflate the tyre.

After studying all the different types of traps, they decided

to build a trap that was  affordable, easy to carry and

would be reliable and last long.

In 2010 they finally made a trap that they were happy

with. It was gas powered and it had a digital counter as well.
