Electric Go Karts - BUILD AND DRIVE - Edison Motors EV Rodeo 2024
We participated in @EdisonMotors electric go kart challenge and this video highlights everything from the beginning of the build to competition day in Merritt BC.
Valleyview Secondary's metalwork program had a great experience at the Edison EV challenge on May 25th. The majority of the build was done in under a month and students were able to finish each of the kart courses they were presented with. There was a tractor pull, high speed obstacle course, an offroad challenge, a barrel race, and prizes for the most innovative design and build.
The challenges courses were tough and we know what we need to do to improve for next year in terms of steering geometry, electrical components, and machining different parts to improve upon our original plan. Here is a short video of the teams build process and competition day. There are other full length videos available on the youtube channel and the teacher website.
Our main drivers were Jack Smith and Kris Ellis but many other students from both the senior and junior metalwork classes were involved in the build process of this project.
We found out the morning of the competition that one of our students had just passed away. The drivers/builders were good friends with him and he also helped out during the initial stages of the build process.

    I'm a bit confused at the supports step. First you say you use 1/2" MDF to lay out the lines because that's what you're going to end up using but then you cut up 3/4" square strips out of 2x4's. Looking at the video, it looks like you're using the 1/2 lines to mark the edges against where you'll put the 3/4" supports.

    • @WeBuildStuff
      @WeBuildStuff 23 дні тому

      The thickness of the strips isn't super important as long as one edge lines up perfectly with your layout lines. I do like 3/4 thick supports as it is easier to attach the t-nuts due to the fastener width. The 1/2 thick lines are so I can see where my 1/2 thick mdf panels will be going

      Basic not primitive. A circular saw, jigsaw, router, and nailer are basic carpentry tools that 13 year olds learn to use in my classes. All can be bought used for cheap and are basic hand-woodworking tools. "Fancy and not basic" to me would be stationary equipment like a tablesaw, industrial thickness planer and jointer setup. This isn't five minute crafts using cardboard and paperclips or 'primitive' building with sticks and mud.

    Holy cow you did all that with a number 0? I use a 3 for brazing copper and I was looking to dip my toes into welding. I like a nice roaring spitting flame for brazing in the wind and a more gentle roar with little spitting for brazing inside/without wind. You can also notice with a nice super hot flame that the weld/braze is done "locally" like with your second take where the outer edge of the workpiece wasn't even glowing yet while you were laying your bead.
