Introduction

The CSG-Go vehicle platform is built using the Carrito System.

Carrito is a modular vehicle development framework designed to encourage distributed vehicle manufacturing, open experimentation, and collaboration between independent builders.

Rather than requiring a single centralized factory, the Carrito system allows many independent shops to contribute to vehicle builds using shared compatibility concepts.

This approach allows smaller shops, mechanics, and fabricators to participate in vehicle manufacturing without needing the massive infrastructure normally associated with the automotive industry.

Core Philosophy

The Carrito system is built around several core ideas:

• Simplicity in vehicle design
• Repairability and maintainability
• Modular component systems
• Collaboration between independent builders
• Distributed manufacturing networks

These ideas allow vehicle projects to be more flexible and accessible while encouraging innovation from builders who may approach design problems in different ways.

Hosted by Charity Helpers Foundation

The Carrito system is currently hosted by Charity Helpers Foundation.

The role of the charity is to act as a neutral steward for the ecosystem by maintaining:

• documentation
• compatibility concepts
• program information
• community coordination tools

The charity does not operate vehicle manufacturing businesses. Instead, it hosts the framework that allows independent builders and companies to develop vehicle platforms using the system.

Vehicle Platforms

The Carrito system allows multiple independent vehicle platforms to exist simultaneously.

Each platform may be developed by different individuals, companies, or builder groups.

Examples could include:

• utility vehicles
• commuter vehicles
• farm vehicles
• cargo transport vehicles
• experimental mobility concepts

The CSG-Go platform is one of the early demonstration platforms created using the Carrito system.

Builder Independence

One of the most important principles of the Carrito ecosystem is builder independence.

Participating shops and builders:

• remain independent businesses
• set their own prices
• choose which services they offer
• select which builds they participate in

The shared platform exists only to make coordination easier between builders.

---

Compatibility Concepts

While the Carrito system encourages experimentation, certain compatibility concepts are encouraged to allow builders to collaborate more easily.

Examples include:

• standardized engine envelopes
• modular mounting points
• shared component dimensions
• modular vehicle architecture

These ideas allow future parts, modules, and upgrades to remain compatible across multiple builds.

---

Open Development

Carrito is designed to support open experimentation.

Individuals and companies are free to develop their own vehicle concepts using the system.

The ecosystem benefits when builders contribute new ideas, improvements, and innovations that help expand what the platform can do.

---

Relationship to CSG-Go

The CSG-Go platform uses the Carrito system as its structural framework.

While CSG-Go is presented by Zero Percent Entertainment, the underlying compatibility philosophy comes from the Carrito ecosystem.

This allows other builders, suppliers, and shops to collaborate more easily when working on CSG-Go builds.
