Description: The go kart in this video was built using Zipblocks. Zipblocks are blocks that mechanically interlock on placement. You can think of Zipblocks as giant toy-construction bricks that fully interlock on placement...but they don't simply come apart like some of the more popular regular sized toy-construction bricks do. Zipblocks are not being manufactured yet. Hopefully, at some point in the near future, you will be able to go to your local home supply center and purchase Zipblock studs that are 8 to 16 feet in length just as easily as if you were to purchase normal studs. There are a lot of advantages to building with Zipblocks studs. Some of bigger advantages are: - Zipblock studs are always perfectly straight. - Measurements and cuts are always multiples of "cube lengths" this makes construction simpler and eliminates a lot of mistakes. - Zipblocks can be fabricated from wood composites, laminates, recycled plastics, ordinary wood, Styrofoam, metal, all sorts of combinations of materials, etc. - You know how simple it is to build those toy-construction brick kits...well building with Zipblocks is just as easy. Ideally you'll be able to choose from thousands of different Zipblocks project plans when they reach the market or even draw up your own kit on a computer. - When you build something with Zipblocks you create zero waste. This is because when you cut a Zipblock into two parts you are simply creating two Zipblocks of different lengths. No matter how many cubes long your Zipblock is...it can always be used for something. - Zipblocks do not require tools for assembly. Glue and nails are entirely optional. - They are fun to build with. When you build with Zipblocks it is like building with a giant toy-construction bricks.
