Motorized Couch

Posted July 28, 2010 8:06 AM

From Neatorama:

Nick Homer and Stewart Clyde, students at Brigham Young University, built a motorized couch and started driving it around campus: Two twelve volt car batteries power the broken wheel chair moving the couch. It's a pretty stable ride and the BYU students who made it have been riding in comfort through Provo. But, they aren't getting a warm welcome from BYU campus police. Motorized vehicles are banned on campus.

We've been getting tons of attention for this couch. We tossed this site together so that anyone can build one. Check it out, http://www.motorizedcouchboys.com.
