    I watched episodes out of release order (Mechanical TV 1+2 then luggage detective) so I don't remember which episode had Felix start going over how he uses Linux, but I want to encourage you to show more…

    Revisit. The future of this project is with the 2 stroke petrol engine. They work fine on their side and there'll be zero problems with getting enough power. Could spin a 6 foot disc! Slip? No problem. Speed? Two of the same motors would be near identical in speed, especially if you used the same fuel. Ben and the team have hardly ever used the grand power of the combustion engine, it'd be an excellent opportunity to show off some of the benefits! You could even rig up an auto starter with those left over drill motors. Noise wouldn't be a problem as this TV form doesn't have any audio!
