Half the fun for me was building it and I really am interested in other people's concepts and ideas so I'm interested to hear what your approach is. Conversely, I'd be happy to tell you why I did this way if you have any questions.

Here's a couple quick vids. I looked for the rig that dropped below the floor but couldn't find it.



It looks like a fairly large table to hold a wheel and pedals is what I was getting at.

Mine will be made out of some box tube and looking to fit a couple of actuators or elec motors to it. Will post images of it here when done.

EDIT

Not a pissing match at all, was interested to see the butt kicker attachment, never heard of that until this thread.
