| We built his project in 2018 with as a group of three students. We designed the simulator together and then divided up the roles for the rest of the project. Heather wrote our reports and kept the administration off our backs so that we could work efficiently. Garon did all of the fabrication. I did the wiring and programming. | We built his project in 2018 with as a group of three students. We designed the simulator together and then divided up the roles for the rest of the project.

| + | The initial idea for this project came from Garon. He used to race outlaw carts, but a series of crashes and injuries made further racing unsafe. He wanted a way to get the thrill of racing without risking life and limb. I am still not convinced this is much safer, but it seemed like it would be when we started. The total power this platform is capable of putting out is more than the actual moving Baja Cart that another senior design team made. | ||
| This is a project I have continued working on over the years. We have made several changes to improve the performance of the platform and make it more user friendly. We ended up doing a complete redesign and the second version is currently under development. | This is a project I have continued working on over the years.
