A big array of arcade buttons hooked up to an Adafruit Audio FX board play various sound bites from the movie, including the theme music!Īll the accessories are powered off of a separate 12V system from the main 48V drive line. It has a 7” tablet built right into the dash to play music and use the Fluxy88 Time Circuits app. They started with one of the club’s golf carts and modified it heavily, relying on the automotive expertise of and to turn it into the aw-worthy time machine it is today.

Sure, it might not be much good for sleeping unless you live in a loft with a concrete floor, but hey – they’re awfully popular these days. It’s refreshing to see an art project executed with both elegant aesthetics and brutally powerful hardware. With that much power, your average flatback bed would be ripped to pieces, but never fear for this one – there’s plenty of heavy engineering holding it together. reports it can comfortably haul 12 people without slowing down, and we don’t doubt it. These are fed through a 20:1 gear reduction to boost torque and avoid the bed moving too quickly. The drivetrain is a couple of 4 horsepower DC motors with speed controllers cribbed from a golf cart. It’s pretty basic as far as “self-driving” technology goes, but it gets the job done.įar from being a lightweight artistic statement, the bed has some serious performance credentials. The bed chooses a random direction in which to move, checking for obstacles on the way. This is achieved through the use of ultrasonic sensors, with an Arduino Mega as the brains. The core principle was not just to create a bed that could move under its own power, but one that could intelligently drive around and avoid obstacles, too. They need more motors, more horsepower, more self-driving smarts – right? Honestly, we’re not sure, but if that’s the question being asked, has the answer.Īptly named, Bedfellow is an art project that sought to create a bed that could explore and socialise with occupants aboard.

Go see this baby DeLorean before you’re outta time. The local body shops refused to paint this baby roadster, so did it himself before adding the killer touches - 1930s Brooklands-style windscreens and 1950s bullet mirrors that look great together.īelieve it or not, this isn’t the first amazing golf cart mod we’ve seen. The rear is done more traditionally with a foam mold, but the front is fiberglassed directly over expanding foam insulation framed with cardboard. We love the fiberglass fab work did to the front and rear - it looks great, especially considering he’d never done it before. Two of the batteries are now in the back, supported by a platform made from old bed frames. Since the cart won’t be hitting the links anymore, there’s no need for a place to put clubs. Now the batteries are distributed throughout the vehicle, including one that’s been cleverly disguised as center console. ![]() The result is retro-styled kart that would not look out of place at a micro car show.īefore getting to the really fun bits, he had to do a bit of prep work, such as relocating the six large batteries so that super cool stock seat can sit lower. When went to trade in his old golf cart for a new one, he found that it would be more valuable to hang on to the old one and have a bit of fun with it.
