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.

[@francoagustinwolpers1864]

I was thinking, you could get some infrared sensors in front and in the back of every kart, that way you can make a Shell power up, if you have another kart in front of you and you used a shell power up it will slow down the kart in front of you. Also a banana peel power up, it does the same but to the kart behind of you

[@Air4563]

I’d absolutely LOVE to see you guys mount some sort of cameras to the car and then hook the controls up to some wireless controllers. Then have 4 people control the carts with the 4 “drivers” sitting in the carts just along for the ride almost like the game!

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.

When Mariokart Live isn't enough

[@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 😅

[@dadjake]

There's Colin Furze, who just makes stuff the jank way, as a one-man show, and then there's the Hacksmith Channel, which makes similar things, but much safer, and in a fraction of the time, with an entire crew. The two different ends of the spectrum.
