The Crusher

World Maker Faire 2016

October 1st-2nd

Exhibit Things That Go

The Crusher is a fun joystick controlled three wheel electric go kart. Me, my sister and dad built it over the summer vacation. The 2 motors in the front wheels can make it turn quickly. The coolest thing on the go kart is the water canon.
