Re: Powered Robot Carts
Our cart is powered by two trained pigeons and a glazed Krispy Kreme donut.

The ROBOT cart is a fusion of last year's fail'd cart plus last year's fail'd robot to make an awesome looking cart. Functionality is optional. I just finished putting in eight 12" cathodes around the chassis. Next on the list is to create access to the electronics, build the driver's mount, program the cart, and (after reading this thread) make sure it is non-powered capable.

It doesn't have all the safety features that you include, but we will have the rotating light and install a small siren (adjustable, of course) to warn people. Also, the cathodes are connected to a single Vic, which can be programmed to flash different patterns on command. That was random...
