Nar karts!

check out these bad boys!

http://www.teamcosmos.com/pop8/karts.wmv

basically they have to fit into a 2' x 2' square, have 3 primary wheels, and be electrically powered. no height restriction.

next time i come across a knackered wheelchair i think i know what to do with it Very Happy

there like riding singularity, but faster!

Hello gentleman,
Just wondering with all this talk of using lightweights, featherweights, heavies whatever as nar karts i am assuming that we will not really stick with the 2 by 2 foot (bout 60cm square i think) size limit ruling.

Is this correct or are we going to be following this rule?

I need to know when i get my electric bike built if i can make it like a chopper or if it will be a monkeybike sorta thing.

ah anywhere where public wasnt at danger. just any old unused netball court of parking lot is good.

The main question for me is though still.

are we keeping to the 2ft squared size ruling. I need to know please. by what i have seen with people saying iw ill use my lightweight etc i presume not so unless we are please say so.

Also Brett, thansk for that link, thats so awesome.

one diea i had was to make it sorta like mario kart (no turtle shells) but have like ramps and jumps and tippers located at specific area's in teh course which u have to manuaver either over or around and such. would add more interesting.

just an idea anyway's.

On the idea of using the sidetracked gokart track, Andrew and I came up with the idea of evryone having a big robot race at the end of the Robowars Event where we take the robots to the gokart track and we have a big race!

It would be definately someting new!

*inserts 36v NiCD pack into T2M*

I've got my bot ready Twisted Evil

are we following the 2ft square rule

sombody answer will you.

No Welcher, we are going to follow the 4inch cube rules of the ant weights, mainly because we are just starting out and we have to start small.
