I'm not sure of the english word. May be belt driven? It's like a soft chain. I see other teams used chains, but I didn't see any shifters/clutches. I don't think you need it with so much torque.
Not really. This is mostly unproven technology, so you can have fun while we learn. I suppose gathering knowledge is not worthless for you. Eventually most of the cars will have an electric powertrain, and most of what we learn here will eventually get to Joe Sixpack car.
Some comments about your contribution:
Hydrogen is dangerous, but every useful energy storage also is. In the outside hydrogen is probably safer than gasoline. You have to worry about "fast" leaks(they can puncture almost anything) on the high pressure side(200bar), but not so much about detonation, because the hydrogen is so light that it dissipates almost instantly. Compared to gasoline, it won't cover your flesh and burn for minutes.
Talking about the cost of the cell I'm almost sure that you can get the competition cell for about 5/W(7.5$/W) which is not so expensive.
The range in the fc depends mainly in the size of the tank, wich is the main advantage. Instead of waiting for the batteries or ultra caps to load, you can change the bottle and get to the track in less than 10 minutes, including the mandatory leak check. And almost everything we learn about this karts is usefull for other types of electric powered cars. Think about regenerative braking, boost caps, diferential motor braking...
I'm sorry but English is not my mother tongue.
In fact it used a parallel port interface. I had it and it was a very good player in that time. Lack of drivers(linux and xp) made it unusable for me, although they were reverse engineered later...
"Ignoring mathematical breakthroughs which render a particular encryption method practically useless" This is exactly what double cyphering(with different algorithms, of course) is about. It provides a solution against known plaintext attacks, given that the intermediate output is cyphered, so you are protected against this problem, something that longer keys doesn't give you. And you can always use longer keys, if you like. Ivan

I think that's what the button in the brake lever is for.
Are you saying that in 4.x ifortran .gt. 77 ??????

We used a SuperKart chasis. Our pilot says that it drives like a normal kart, with better acceleration. In a 300 kilos beast.
He had real fun driving. Electric motors torque is real good for racing.
