The first serious session with the 3D program Blender went well. I laid out my wheels and gained more familiarity with this program.

I'd love to post images except that I'm having issues with Drupal--the blog application this site uses. It will be corrected in time.

The name of this project is now called the Mantis. I named this project after a 1994 superhero who was experimenting with various ways of getting out of his wheelchair and came up with the Mechanically Augmented Neurotransmitter Integration System.

Over the next year, I'm going to design and build a recumbent cycle. Not sure why I didn't come up with this long ago but life happens as it happens.

To answer the first question: will their be a motor? Yes. My right leg and my left leg. If you're brave (or dumb) enough to ask the second question: do your legs work?... yes. I'll leave it at that so I don't plunge a dagger through you.
