How do I build a push cart?

Maybe you're thinking, "How do I build a push cart?" - we've got you covered. Below is a sample diagram for building a push cart, but don't stop there. Get creative! The only additional requirement for the cart, which is not shown on the sample diagram, is that it must have some form of seat belt or straps to secure the driver to the cart. Please note this when working on your final design - no carts will be admitted to the race without a seat belt.
