| 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. | The Kart Kit should be the most basic, so students can see some upgrades very easily to start.

| - | 2/20/16 - We updated the folder for our refined model. It's an 8020 1020 base, and we received a quote from [[http://tslots.com/|tslots.com]] to make it for $187 (including all materials!) We have ordered one to test out, and if successful we will be raising funds to build a LOT more. I anticipate 6 students per kit when working in a classroom. | + | 2016-02-20 - We updated the folder for our refined model.
