Hey so I'm new to this whole science olympiad gig does anyone have a really simple way to build the battery buggy? or any advice? Please?

There is a kit on Ward's Science that is way overpriced, but will do the job. If you plan on using it, make sure you don't use the capacitors in the kit.

I would recommend building from scratch. The easiest way to build a battery buggy would probably be to use a plywood base. Watch this video to get a really good understanding of the basics:

The video is for electric car which was substantially different from a power standpoint and thus weight.
Look at all of the posts that are all ready here. Quite a while back I posted build ideas and then another one on motors . There are several good bits of information in the other posts.
A great picture is in "battery buggy" that was in the presentation from the summer institute several years ago. Google it and go to the end of the presentation.

Ok thank you so much guys! This info will be very helpful considering it is my first time doing this. Thanks again!
