I mean Iām actually working on something along these lines for the E-Freeboard Open source Electric Caster
Currently Iām thinking there will be a pull string handle sticking out the top of the module and you give it a pull and it locks into a lifted mode, this idea goes along with the self balancing ideas I talked about in that thread.

In the comments I saw another pretty great idea: self flipping fingerboard
So you make a small RC electric skateboard and build in flipping actuators or maybe could get the reaction wheel idea to work on that scale. So you could play like a IRL skateboard video game.
Perhaps a better idea is to make a quadcopter drone with a skateboard deck and wheels on the bottom so it just takes off to launch onto rail slides and you use the thrusters to maintain balance while it slides.

I think he went over hsi spreadsheet where he keep track of his expenses as the owner of Hacksmith industries so that counts all the material costs and labor maybe even counting the rent for that period.

haha with some custom code added 
Throw an arduino in between only if you donāt want to mess with the VESCs just pull it out and it goes back to normal.
Also I was thinking it would be sweet if you had this in an app that connects to the VESC over BT for it, range would suck obviously.

Top speed is pretty unremarkable at 51km/h for the top model. Yawn
