I settled for hoverboards for parts for Go-cart project with kids. There are plenty of projects online, but i don't feel like using a chain or gears to drive an axle. Or worse just driving one wheel wit electric drill or something like that. There are plenty of electric hub motors around. Plus I just want an excuse to play with 4x4. I was looking at Scooters, but the ones with a motor in both front and the back wheel are pricey, plus the wheel diameter also is very small for most of them. Another option buying two or four electric bicycle conversion kits, and not tcheap. Buying two hoverboards gives me 4 wheels with motors + batteries for Go cart + some electronics for the parts. And its far cheaper than buying two electric scooters. Challenge might be to find similar accumulator battery packs if i want more of them in the Go cart. Oh well, i can deal with extra balancer and charge controller. Hoverboards technically have the motor controllers built in, but I'm not that good of a hacker jet to figure out how to reprogram the motherboard. But the Power electronic parts can be used on my own PCB. Saves e-waste and saves me a bit of project cost.

Really stoked to see how it turns out. I'm just lucky and get to see it real time. 😉

Thanks for making this video Joe ! Fledgling channel? you have 1.5k subscribers ! How do you do it?

It seems like you could have made it easier for yourself if you just built on your robovac. it has appropriate speed motors and some useful sensors, and it already can do a useful job. Adding more smarts and an arm and eyes and integrating that with the vacuum is a huge challenge, but you have already shown us you have no shortage of patience.
