      This project is the complete retrofit of a recreational go-kart with laser tag equipment, computerized motor control, and various other sensors. The goal is to add a whole new level of fun to an already enjoyable activity. By integrating infra-red laser tag type equipment with the kart, racers will be able to tag each other as they race around the track. By attaching computer controlled servos to the kart's engine governor, our system is able to temporarily idle the engine when the racer is 'tagged' or temporarily boost their speed as the game allows.
