This looks to be the cheapest way to get some of this stuff, and ships from 1 hour away from me.

They only have round but I bet it could be rolled into strip if need be.

I guess I wonder if round brush contacts are ok because they should be contacting at an angle and wearing away a rectangular surface larger than the diameter of the round material.

trying to figure out how to make slip ring, reverse engineer leif further

I think this idea, combined with an electronic brake on the rotation of the E-Caster as well as self balancing on the center caster would be a usable combo. What I imagine is you would be riding it like a freeboard but then you could get going straight on the center wheels then engage the rotation brake, at the same time the suspension lifts you and self balancing engages. if you are sliding when you start the lift system it will ride like an EUC and if going straight it would ride like a OW. Dumb idea to go too fast when doing this obviously.
