Seen above is the Chibkart, a real life version of the Mario Kart. Made by MIT student Charles Guan, this bad boy is a four-wheel drive ulta-compact go-kart with 100mm custom hub motor wheels. The frame is 34″ long and 18″ wide (870mm x 460mm). Which means that if you have hard wood floor or tile, you can host your own in house rainbow roads. Apparently, if you build it yourself the Chibkart will set you back around $1750, but imagine when these babies can be mass produced! Hit the jump for the video of the Chib/ Mario Kart in action!

Students In Belgium Now Have To Text And Drive To Get License.
With texting and driving becoming such an issue with younger drivers, Belgium DMV’s are now making students go through a texting and driving portion to see just how dangerous it is. That means cones will be hit and cars will be ruined, because texting and driving is hard! I know because I do it….anyways. Here is the scoop and the video is after the jump!
Before the test, the examiner shows them an official looking letter, which says that a new government directive asks them to show that they can use a phone safely while driving. That sounds pretty unlikely given the push to ban all handheld devices in cars, but the kids buy into the official looking rule change.

New Phantom Camera = More Awesome Slow Motion Video
The new Phantom Miro M120 is out and that means we are going to be seeing a ton of awesome new slow motion video projects coming out in the next couple of months. Good thing anything slow motion is freaking awesome! Here’s the scoop, and hit the jump for the awesome video!
I was lucky enough to be the first person to shoot with the new Vision Research Phantom M120 camera systems. This is just a sample of a project I have had in my head for a while. With help from Abel Cine I was able to test out the camera’s before they shipped and put this little edit together. Being able to have a small form factor high speed camera like this for my projects is a long time wish.
