TECoptimal X1 - Hoverboard

I've been having fun with PID controllers lately, and I decided that a hoverboard just had to be done.

Despite its clean design, it doesn't really look like any hoverboard that you're used to seeing, but it had to be a little top-heavy, so this is what I got after around 8 designs.

I think some improvement is possible, and I think that it has lots of potential for cooler, larger vehicles (hehe). It's not exactly too practical, but it's enjoyable to drive and it's very stable until the battery gets low.

There's an electric connector on the back, which will disconnect if you turn the hoverboard on. Just wanted to make that clear so you don't spend ages looking for a way to disconnect the connector.

There's lights on the front that will blink when you turn, just like some actual hoverboards that I've seen.
