don't even think about building a thing until you have spent a ton of time working out what goes where, does what, communicates with what, moves how, etc.
Rule #1: ink can be cut, bent, glued, erased, stretched, welded, folded, spliced and deleted over and over and over for nothing more than the cost of a little time. The moment you bend the first piece of metal, stretch the first wire, solder the first component or otherwise commit to hardware, everything becomes *much* harder to change and cost a fortune to modify.
