A quick FAQ
----------------

1. Yes, my driving is lousy. I'm used to hardcore racing sims and it's been 15+ years since I spent any time with MK. I had about an hour with the machine actually running Mario Kart, since we built it for another project, and the video you see was the first take. Also, I had some specific goals (the jump, the bumps, the mole) that made driving well secondary.

2. The reaction speed is quite good - about 10ms from game event to machine motion. Watch during the jumps.

3. I tried it with a 'normal' 301 using the steering wheel. It's next to impossible, because the control inputs are on/off, not analog, so you have to whip the wheel back and forth like a madman. We'd have to write code to pulse-width-modulate the output from the wheel. Plus, it's Mario Kart. You have to play it with a gamepad.

4. Yes, FZero would be very cool. Maybe it's time to write that pulse width modulation output...
