Team 548 cart returns

[bman]

to qbranch-

we know some people that work on the tahoe project, it was tough, but we pulled it off

At first, the battery was at 280 volts (don't get shocked), but we took it apart and wired it down to 14.4

no clue how many amp hours, but we ran the 1200 watt sup and the speakers and neons for three days without any problems

see ya in atl, you'll hear us. we weren't playing it much at purdue because we were going for chairmans

to gbilletdeaux930-

My God, that thing blows any other cart I've seen out of the water!!! Our's was just last year's cart secured to last year's robot chassis. What you have is eventually what I want to escalade to.

PM me some more stats on your cart, so I can have some idea of what I'd want to put in there.

Well, from our team budget, we spent maybe $8 bucks on hot glue and Velcro, but from the total donations we added up somewhere around 8 grand... But like we said, it was more or less laying around components that we put together to make an amazing cart.

Please remember that playing music in the pit is not only discouraged, but exceptionally annoying.

There is an especially warm spot in Hell reserved for those who needlessly add to the noise level in the pits.

I think even 280 got burned by officials at a regional once for playing their anthem in the pit area.

That's why I've always wanted to put a hugemongous audio system on a cart and have it noise cancel. Now we just have to wait a few more years till I get enough of my EE degree done...

Many have said (for various reasons) silence is loud... imagine when a cart goes by you it gets quiet and gets loud again when it goes away.

Also, before everybody shoots this down, I realize that given perfect cancelling ability with minimal delay the best you can do is attempt to servo the air pressure in the area to a stable level, which wouldn't allow anyone around the noise-cancelling device to be herd. Also, I'm not sure, but I think it would feed back too... although I'm not sure if there's any filtering that could be designed to keep that from happening. Again, I'm not an EE... yet.

Jut a fyi for those concerned
,we make sure that we do not play music ever in the pits. It is great for after and hanging out though. we also use it for festivals and events such as relay for life

in the original post it says ~ 400 lbs. Also please note that this thread is from 2008 and since then there are specific rules about music/sound systems on your carts which you should view before considering something like this.
