The rubber band needs to wrap around the back axle;
the wheels need to have rubber against the table;
the beams need to be kept parallel and sturdy;
the rubber band needs someplace to catch at the front;
the rubber band needs to keep from wrapping up next to the beams;
and the wheels need to have minimum friction against the beams.
