    Hi,

    Attached are my sketches - I am trying a redesign of the commonly used joyrider build. I designed this version with the intent of de-risking the scissor issue of the traditional joy rider.

    I am brand new to this and I already have arduino experience, have ordered motor controllers, have welding tools and experience and computer programming knowledge.

    What I really need input on is troubleshooting through the build, input on my draft / design concept (e.g. physics, potential motor issues, etc.) and any other advice (all welcome).

    I am aiming to complete this build in a 3-4 month window (over the winter).

    I have oculus rift so the design doesn't have a monitor requirement - you'll notice it is not present in the draft.

    Is my design clear enough to understand in order to provide feedback?
