Re: vehicle engineering design competition
riiight, I'd just say canni balise the motor and batteries out of an onld 18V dirill for your drive train, and use a silicone or rubber cement coating on your tires for good grip. Pick up som "mechano' or whatever to build the chassies if you don't know how to or can't manufacture a chassies out of, say, roundbar steel. ALso remember that torque is your freind in a 'sumo' or tug of war style competition, have a good downshifted gearbox to maximize your force.
Other motors can include old power window motors (can pillage a 'junked' car at the autowrecker for those) Don't worry too much about supplying different voltages to the motor then it's specs, but if you do it 'can' burnout. If you're really industrious, wind your own motor right and you'll smoke the competition.
If you incorporate the ideas, let me know how it turns out.
