Re: gocart building
the first place to start is a chassis. i helped my friend build his cart and man that thing does wheelies with a 9 hp engine with me on it an i weigh 185 lbs. He bought his chassis but if you are looking for a custom fit i suggest you build one.
As for the engine his is a 9hp snow blower engine and it not a honda and he frequently has problems with it. SO GET A HONDA!!!
Heres a little story:
One time i took his cart out for a ride and i was doing wheelies. i was making a corner and jammed the gas by accident and did a wheelie into a truck. i fell off and it did a few 360's on the motor standing up. it was awsome. in the end we ended up making a wheely bar car it would pretty much flip if we didn't.

In my opinion, I wouldnt want gifts or praise from people about my help to a robotics team, all I would want is a thank you, that would make all my hard work and efforts worth while and it would prove to me that I could actually be making a difference in the students lives - Mike Schroeder [more]
