Also I want to eventually to tell the Go Kart to go this speed (Sa) for this long (Ta) and the steering wheel turned at this degree(Da), then go at this speed (Sb)... etc... I ...

It has come to my attention that I would have to weld this together... I never have welded anything before. What's the best way to go about this? I'm thinking I should find a local community college and see if they wil allow me to work in their shop. That's all I can think of... Anyone have any sugg...

I have to have a normal steering wheel, can't use a joystick for the driver. I'm guessing the batteries would be behind the seat of the driver. I know that I need a geared motor, and I need to figure out its torque required, but how to I attach the motor to the steering shaft? Also what type of moto...

I was looking at some patent sites: http://www.freepatentsonline.com/6900564.html and it was talking about a worm shaft and a worm wheel that connects the eletric motor to the steering shaft. I don't know if I understood it completely. I found this steering shaft: http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/...

Thanks a lot for your time! Your saying that I need a geared motor attached to a steering shaft that will move when forced by the driver but can also move when controled by RC. I'm guessing this geared motor will move the steering shaft. I'm also guessing that a rotary encoder will be attached to th...

Go Carts and Servos
Hi, I want to make a go cart from scratch, however, I want it to be both an RC go kart and a drivable go kart. I need to program its steering in exact angle degrees of the wheels, and exact speeds that I would like it to run. I'm thinking that I need servos to acheive this preciseness in the speed i...
