Maker Faire Austin 2008
Carmadillo

Carmadillo is a fire-breathing armadillo on a gocart chassis. The primary purpose of the project is entertainment, of course, and it is an excellent example of artistic metal fabrication and whimsy. It serves as a teaching example for art car builders who wish to have more than a Ford Escort with fun fur glued to it.
