Abstract

This study is motivated by the Go Kart Design Challenge (GKDC), wherein dedicated teams from the University collaboratively endeavored to bring to life a competitive go-kart. Serving as an invaluable learning platform for mechanical engineers, the project involved comprehensive engagement in go-kart design calculations, budget estimations, fabrication, qualification testing, and dynamic participation in competitions. This paper succinctly outlines the key phases of the project, encompassing the design process, fabrication intricacies, rigorous testing procedures, and the team’s active involvement in competitive events. Notably, the research introduces a pioneering dimension by incorporating sensors and advanced algorithms into the go-kart system, contributing to enhanced safety measures and heightened driver alertness. The integration of these innovative elements marks a progressive step forward in the evolution of go-kart design, reflecting the team’s commitment to pushing boundaries and embracing cutting-edge technologies in pursuit of excellence.

Keywords: AISI 4130 steel; Arduino NANO; Brake system; Ultrasonic sensor; Water level sensor.
