A motion platform using Power Steering Racks !!!
Believe it or not but another KIWI (New Zealander) has put his Kiwi tallent to good use.
Craig is getting a motion platform going using Power Steering Racks from cars and driving them with wiper motors.
Progress looks good and he has just got a website going to pass the info on.
Great pictures Craig !!
