Go Kart Part 2
This is the updated go kart. Long story short: I got a controller and replaced the caster wheels with stationary steerable wheels. I had to switch the caster wheels because the entire go kart was swerving left and there was little I could do about it. For next weekend, I'll make a better steering mechanism and try to get more power out of the motors. Until next time...

Cad Drawing
Here is what I modeled before hand for the go kart. I had to change a lot of it, but it at least gave the general idea.
Electric Go Kart Part 1
This is the result of one weekend of building. I haven't had any major hicups yet, but I'm sure that will change. If you noticed, the two sprockets are different sizes, because those were the only ones I had. Once the controller comes in, I'll calibrate the motors to make sure that the go-kart drives straight.

FRC Robotics
Sorry for not posting something last weekend! I was away at a robotics competition for First robotics with my school. We ended in 3rd place! Not bad... See the link for more. Our robot is Team 293.
