Observations from an outlier

Here is a short video of us testing the elevation wheelchair with the disk brakes we designed.

This project has been both frustrating and rewarding. The tiny details add up quickly. The disk brakes require a bit of extra chair width, and this can be deal breaker for most users. It can make getting into older buildings, especially bathrooms, impossible, but outside all that matters is stopping force and ease of use.
