Wow, that is one complex sounding machine! I'm not for a minute going to pretend that I understand everything you're on about, but it sounds exciting to say the least. Wish I could be that creative but sadly I lack a decent imagination and 9 years of actively competing mean that my designs are geared less towards creativity and more towards building a 'mainstream' machine that has a reasonable chance of success.

The advice of starting out simple is good. It may not be as fun as your main design, but it will give you your first active taste of the sport and you will learn a huge amount from that. Also, if you're able to get along to a live event, then I'd recommend doing so. It'll give you a better perspective of the power and forces involved, from which you'll be able to adjust your design and calculations to better improve the effectiveness of your machine.

It'll be a tough build by the sounds of things but your enthusiasm will stand you in good stead and it'll be an interesting one for the rest of us to watch develop. Best of luck
