Our Goblin Cars
BANANA BLASTER

We received our first Goblin in March 2026. We named it "Banana Blaster"! Banana Blaster was assembled as it had been used previously by another team, but we had less than two weeks to learn to drive and make the bodywork before the first race at the Devonport Motor Show at the end of March.

LEMONGHINI

We received our second Goblin as a unassembled kit in May at the start of term 2. The Goblin team chose the name LemonGhini and the body design was inspired by the  inspired by the Lamborghini Huracan. We also were aware that we had funding from Tasmania Community Fund for a large format 3D printer and decided to design the body in Tinkercad and 3D print it. This is the first 3D printed Goblin body in Australia, and perhaps the world.

Devonport Motor Show Heats

A highlight of out visit to Edcat was meeting Australian of the Year and Astronaut Katherine Bennel-Pegg

Edcat Conference

Ten days before the Sydney Heats Banana Blaster and LemonGhini were carefully packed in crates and sent to Sydney

Pymble Ladies College kindly received our crates. Here we prepare LemonGhini on arrival.

Our Goblins made a big impression at the track and pit area. Especially the first 3D printed Goblin body.

Sydney Heats August 2026

In May 2026 our new Goblin EV kit arrived

Our team got to work assembling...

... and sometimes reassembling.

Final touches at last!
