Weaponised Go Kart Racing

    Would a rubber gimp suit counter act a tazer gun array on a home built go kart in a weaponised go kart race?

    Or if not how would you go about counter acting such a weapon, especially if you are unsure whether the shot will come from a side, front or back?

    Anyone got any ingenious weaponry idea for a go kart. Clearly weight and speed implications are a factor. A system for extending metal rods into neighbouring wheels would be useful but not sure how to achieve it.

    Would installing atari Jaguar into the kart in any way improve ones chances, or at least make one look cooler?

    Would have to be implementable by mid to end July.

    wear a tinfoil suit and constantly douse yourself in water.

    also a great weapon for go karts is the banana skin.


    edit: dammit

    Are oil slick dispensing devices a waste of time? I think I could easily build in a release system with about 5 "shots" in it without compromising much in terms of weight or speed.

    I find hydrochloride acid quite effective.

    A shotgun on some sort of swivel should suffice.

    Smoke bomb to blind the driver behind you (it stays attached to the vehicle obviously).

    op can these weapons be fatal? if so go with the flame thrower, always go with the flame thrower.

    Alas there is some kind of rule system invovling what is or is not sporting. Seems they find guns, acids, flames and darts to be un-cosher.

    Bludgeouning and tazering however seems to be au fait... especially anything that targets the kart rather than the driver. Though I think the addition of tazers was particularly ingenious. I wonder if one could create some kind of wire mesh that would ground the tazer around the body rather than into it? I need a sparky for this I think.

    could you have a little box that drops little spikes to burst tyres or are go kart tyres even inflated

    I think most avoid it as its an obvious attack point. What tyres were once inflated tend to be deflated and air replaced with that foamy rubber substitute stuff.

    The wheels therefore seem to be the most obvious point of attack. That or the driver.

    5 cans of silly string.

    Watch the end of the Little Rascals movie, they have some fairly cool soapbox weapons.

    Also, attach fireworks to the sides for an extra speed boost.

    Alas the only ones I have access to will probably just make you THINK you are driving faster. That or flying. Or racing against crocodiles in human suits or some such.

    Having a sniper waiting by turn 3 should get you onto the podium. Make sure he knows the driver in the gimp suit is NOT a legitimate target.

    I'm older than Minecraft goats.

    I'm guessing the turtle shell and lighning bolt suggestions make even less sense to you so :)

    Have you considered stealth technology OP? I'm pretty sure that a good durable refuse sack could provide a fairly sophisticated cloaking device.

    Yes, I know it was tried (unsuccessfully) by the USAF in Vietnam, but they were using black sacks.

    I would suggest a dull grey refuse sack. Yes, I know they don't come cheap, but you get what you pay for, and cutting edge innovation isn't cheap.

    I don't know what your budget is, but if you want the best, I'm afraid you're going to have to be prepared to pay upwards of a euro for a roll of five.

    Someone drew parallels between coupling wanton violence and real fun in a careening lump of wood and metal... with mario kart.... and it sort of went down hill (hah) from there.

    Model yourself on this lad

    There is a guy using tazers and you want me to don a big metal mask? :) I am looking for ways to counter act their effect, not accentuate the experience.
