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.
