BUILDING REAL MARIO KARTS!

[@chemistry4life]

Can I just say... I like how deliberate Charles is in breaking down and explaining some of the processes like 3D printing, light sensor, crimping, etc. I can totally see all the effort going into deciding how much is too much info, so that the audience doesn't get too bored, yet maintaining a level of educational sense. Great job!

might be fun to make a infrared 'gun' on the front with sensors on the rear of the cart were you can 'fire' red and blue shells at each other causing a drop of power for a second or two.

To be fair, the speed stat is one of the most useless, as miniturbo and friction can easily overpower it due to how often you're drifting, so technically it's not wrong. Of all the stats, those two are the ones you want to focus on.

For other power ups you could connect all the karts via bluetooth or wifi. A red shell would briefly shutoff the motor of the kart in front of you, a banana could slow done the person and a blue shell would briefly shut off the person in first. Using the color sensor you could use a counter for laps or checkpoints so the karts no who is in what position. This might be complicated solution but I'm sure what ever you would be super intuitive.

[@ashstuart7498]

I think these are great. I feel like I have a good idea for the red shell power-ups that could make these really like mario kart but safe. If you put a row of IR lights in the front of the kart and IR receivers in the back of them you could shoot your power ups like in the game. When the IR receiver detects a IR light from the kart behind it will apply the electrical brake or cut the motors for 1 second. This way people could use the red shell as a strategic offense and bring a bit more fun into them other than just boosts. You could probably bring the banana power up in as well if you put IR lights and receivers on the opposite but that might get complicated and cause interference when you use your own red shell 😅

[@joelchamberlin1409]

You should incorporate the shells too. The way I see this being possible is; connect all the cars via some sort of radio control. Have the yellow squares give the options for Red or Blue shells also. If someone gets a blue shell and "shoots" it, then the car in first place loses power for 1 second. This will simulate the spin out. If you select the Red Shells and "shoot", the next car in front of you would get the loss of power, similar to how the shell finds the next car in the game. Great build as always.

One thing you might do to enact negative powerups would be to connect the arduinos together with BTLE. that way you could do a negative speed boost to a random enemy.

[@masterfabi874]

Absolutely amazing work. As i was watching your video i came up with some ideas for additional special items you could create. Maybe some kind of a red shell. If you get one of these you may can send a signal to the next car which activates a Countdown. If the Player dont have a banana (technically onscreen) he will be braked or even stoped (if its possible he could rotate or sth like that). This would be the contra-items against the boosts. Bananas could also virtually got placed. Maybe if the cart drops a colorful mark therefore. Overall i like your idea and im exited to see your progress. Have a nice day

This is so cool. When I went to Coco Beach in Florida there was a Mario Kart race track that also give you power ups but they used something else to identify the items. They had more items like coins and other stuff that makes your opponents slow down. It would be cool to see how you guys would implement that into your Mario Karts especially because the ones I tried weren’t all that great but the idea was cool.

Having display panels on the track that show the power up cycle animation once you pass over it would be awesome! A possibility with using the display panels is having them display the yellow power up box, and having that color sensor set for yellow. Once it triggers the sensor, have a couple second delay before a random power up is selected. That's how it works in the game right? This is totally possible!

[@alexandertaylor2951]

Hmm. A wireless connection between the karts that allow for green shell, which when activated will either hit or miss the nearest player at random. Or a red shell that automatically hits the nearest player. A hit will cause the kart to slow down for a few seconds like a reverse boost pad. And a banana peel will slow you down for five seconds like a reverse star. But you’d have to create a wireless kart server and stuff. Plus a deception for the kart in front of yours. That sounds like a lot of work. Just a thought. I love this stuff.
