Eric Streenstra, a serious LEGO enthusiast, has come out with his latest creation called the LEGO Go-Kart. The end result of this huge project is a fully functional go-kart made entirely out of LEGO blocks and LEGO mechanics. It's not exactly the speediest vehicle, but it's a pretty cool robot cart that any child would happy to have their hands on.
It moves using its very own power system, so there's no constraining power cords telling you how far you can go. The video shows the kart in action controlled by a young boy, though to be honest, this kart would be tons of fun for adults as well.
It's actually a pretty stylish-looking cart complete with red and gray detailing. This would definitely be a fun toy to have around, however buyers should not be so sure that it would hold up on a real track.
