Failed Kickstarter Leads to Open Source Racer

This little car is full of Powerups. StuckAtPrototype originally had this idea for a kickstarter. Unfortunately for them, the kickstarter didn’t succeed. Fortunately for us, he took it open source for everyone to share!

I recreated my Kickstarter project from a few years ago and this time open-sourced it.

Find the project files here: https://github.com/StuckAtPrototype/R…

Its a fun electronic toy car that hides a special power. It has power-ups! I utilize a color sensor and a magnetic switch to trigger fun tricks such as speed ups, slow downs and spin outs. You might have guessed it, yes, it’s taking a lot of inspiration from Mario Kart!
