One theory rumbling about is the idea of the kart kit. The purpose? Modeled after FIRST FRC, students would probably enjoy learning about the components, tech and science of a kart if they actually got their hands on one, something easy to build. This would hopefully facilitate discussion of the parts themselves, but also encourage learning about how to improve the kart.

The Kart Kit should be the most basic, so students can see some upgrades very easily to start. For example, start with just one motor, driving one wheel. We would hope students could theorize that adding a second motor to the other wheel would be an upgrade. Then considerations for a different drive altogether (live vs dead axle), maybe a differential, etc.

(A STEP file, picture and other info will be posted by this weekend. Frameworks is the company that has helped design the frame with a 50% school discount to build/sell, and we have other sources to share.)
