> suspension, electric power steering, safety remote control override
> via RF link, roll bar, and it easily disassembles into parts of a
> manageable size for carrying and transportation in a car. It uses
> multiple PIC microcontrollers on a rugged, fault-tolerant networked
> bus. It automatically detects and compensates for most unsafe
> conditions (like stuck wheels, overly-aggressive acceleration by the
> driver, wheel slip, etc.) Letting go of the control joystick
> automatically engages first dynamic brakes and then upon complete
> stop, mechanical brakes (which also engage should the electronics fail
> or the battery go dead) The frame is welded steel tubes. The buggy has
> an on-board E-STOP switch and key lock. It is powered by two
> deep-cycle sealed lead acid batteries which are placed low to help
> with stability. The seat is tailored specifically for the occupant
> (his daughter Katie) and has a full harness for safety.
