HOW IT WORKS

摘要

In the golf cart, all six batteries sat below the driver. Hertz moved three of them to the back and the other three up front so he could keep the racing seat low to the ground, as it was in the original arcade game. He also wired the game's original speaker sgstem to the laptop inside the cabinet. Finally, to keep the cart rolling smoothly, he bought a new set of wheels. The golf cart's steering column was on the left side of the drivetrain, but the arcade game's steering wheel was in the center of the console. To fit everything together at the proper angles and prevent the steering system from jamming, Hertz built a custom steering shaft and mount to shift the steering column to the center and inverted several of the components connecting the steering box with the front wheels. The game's brake and gas pedal were simpler to mate with the cart's system, and he decided not to mess with the speed controller-13 mph was plenty fast.
