Cap Kart - First Test Drive

This is the first test drive of the Cap Kart, a unique electric go-kart with capacitive regeneration and boost mode. To see more about this project, visit:

We lost our field controller, which is the equivalent to loosing a transmission, but were still able to drive in "low gear." It was a good test of the custom DC motor controller and data acquisition system.

Once the field controller is repaired, testing with the ultracapacitor can begin.
