and good luck and may the algo be with you

You have to make better rules, here are some of them.
- max hinge speed
- can you use killers?
- do you have to use a gearbox?
- can it be automatic (scripting)?
- what do you call cheating?
- what is "over the top" for scripting?

I know this is your first contest (even your first post), so this is to make it better.

EDIT*
thanks matten for telling me a few things
i have added your suggestions

- hinge speed limit - 100rpm to 600rpm
- max motor strength - 100nm to inf nm
- killers not allowed
- gearbox is optional
- some scripting is allowed
(cheating- using geometry controllers etc.)
(over the top scripting- dont make is so complicated)
hope i answer your questions matten and thanks for pointing things out for me

by the way matten r you entering?
hope you do
cant wait to see your go cart
*winks*

Well, I can make a good go kart, but I'm not good in graphics. But I will give it a try.

Hey, are collaborations allowed? if so, do you want me to help you Matten?

Thanks, but I think I don't need it. My graphics are better then I excepted. The only thing I still need is a good booster or something.

Okay then, good to hear.

this competition ends on the 20th of the 6th 2010
i have not seen any carts yet?
hope at least anyone has entered

Oh, it's ended but no carts here... I think i will try to make one car, but i don't know if you want it...

Hmmm.... I may post something. But not tonight.

I advise against grading on speed, unless you add some very serious motor limitations and ban air friction manipulation. Anything can go fast.

Frank, this contest is from August.
