Guan normally spends his time building competition-spec battle robots but he extended his creativity to come up with a drivable shopping cart. He used an old NiCad battery pack and using some leftover lithium nanophosphate cells from A123 that was donated to the University. This battery pack is capable of sending 48 volts to a Briggs and Stratton ETEK DC pancake electric motor, which operates through a DIY rear differential and to the tiny tires at the back of the cart. Kids will not be the only one\u2019s hitching a ride in shopping carts after this.
