LMFAO X 2

ok well i think that if we wanna be using theese as light weights than how about we have our karts to the specifications of light weight bots

I'm building a lightweight, not a Nar Kart. If PArasite works good enough, i might just bung on some handles and enter.

We might be able to race around the smaller Electric Go Kart Track at Sidetracked if its not in use at the end of the weekend.

I doubt that any of us would have the radio range to do laps of the full kart track though.. besides which, you wouldnt be able to see the bots when they were down the far end anyway.

I'll ask barry and see.. obviously all weapons would have to be off.. we could call it "The Wacky Races" or something.

About 10 years ago a friend an I put together what we called the 'rocket sled', very similiar to a street luge except you are in a 'sort' of a prone position. It used skateboard wheels, which was a mistake as the control was not the best (I can understand why the luge wheel are so wide). It was about 1.5 metres in length, had two small panels (suitably old fashioned eg: big switches and chunky dials, mechanical counter) they measured battery voltages and activation/arming switches, timer and engine cutoff monitors and engine section temperature. The rocket engine was a cluster of D-types (thank goodness the NAR are not in Australia, I'd be banned for life), I can't remember the exact number (maybe ~24) but almost $200 worth (and I couldn't get the same type so they were mixed, some single stagers, glider engine etc..). The 'sled' was attached via a disconnectable umbilical at the back end to an external controller/car battery which ignited the engines en masse (mostly) from a trigger on the sled.

Originally the 'sled' was powered by chambers of boiling water with dry ice added to make a big version of a squirt rocket, these ones were only enough to push the 'sled' unmanned. Later several 'unmanned' trips were piloted by a couple of heavy variacs using only a few D motors in the cluster. Then eventually a manned launch (slow, ~2 secs burn, altogether 25 secs go to whoa), and a serious one. The serious one never happened - which is possibly not a bad thing, the sled really needed some work for speed. The slow one was still fun anyway, its worth doing, everybody will think you are nuts, it even got a mention in my wedding speeches. Still have the ol' sled in the shed and often think about having another go at it (especially before they ban rocket motors in the current political climate).

I pulled out the rocket sled for a photo, I found the panels, remote controller, but no wiring, no used rocket cluster, no car battery, but you will get the idea. I wore a black US flight suit and my carbon fibre sky diving at the time, my sky diving helmet is photographed for scale.
