In class today I designed the first cart that I am going to make. The body is going to be made of coreflute, so it will be very thin and light. The motor is going to be placed under the body to make it more aerodynamic. The batteries will be placed near the back of the car to keep the weight centralised slightly in front of the back wheels. A scale drawing of the design can be seen below.
I am thinking about making a later design for my cart using ProDesktop, because then I can get the measurements more exact and the materials will be lighter. I would be able to extrude two holes through the body for the metal pole that the wheels are on, and this would be perfectly straight. I am not sure of what design I would use for this yet, or if I will even have time, but I would like to be able to at least try it.
