Self Propelled Golf "Pull" Cart
Hello everyone. I am quite the novice when it comes to stuff like this but I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me with a project I would like to undertake. My idea is to build a golf “pull” cart with some sort of DC motor that might run off a battery powerful enough to last a full 18 holes. I know that they are out there and are for sale but I don’t really want to shell out the big bucks. I thought it would be cool to make one for a project. The size of the battery is not an issue. I would even use a car battery if I could figure out the right DC motor to hook up to it to drive the pully. I’m even considering rigging the front wheel to be able to turn right and left off of a servo like a remote control car. So, I guess my question is, would it be possible to do this fairly easily. What type, if any, battery would be sufficient to drive a motor that would engage a clutch to drive the two back wheels and could be recharged on a regular basis? Any ideas on a battery and or a motor would be very helpful….
Thanks in advance.
