Full-Rotation 3-Axis Gimbal Motion Simulator (360° Pitch/Roll/Yaw) Ended

About the job

Design a motorized motion simulator platform that allows a person to rotate continuously in all 3 axes (pitch, roll, and yaw), similar to:

- The SEGA R360 arcade cabinet
- NASA’s Multi-Axis Trainer (MAT)
- A motorized 3-axis gimbal rig for flight simulation

It must be easy and cost-effective to produce and build. It must be motorized.
The goal is to create a flight simulator training platform as a build kit for flight simulator enthusiasts.

- The concept must be safe and functional for a simulator that:
- Supports continuous 360° rotation in all 3 axes
- Can hold a 300 kg+ payload (human + screens + frame)
- Uses real, buildable components (bearings, motors, frame)
- Is ready for deeper design and control development in Phase 2

Within 3–5 days, please submit:

→ A rough mechanical concept as CAD sketch, or hand-drawn with dimensions.
→ A PDF with screenshots/drawings and description

Including a brief written description of:

→ Your proposed bearing and gimbal setup
→ Motor and controller types
→ Frame materials (e.g., aluminum tube, steel pipe)
→ High-level rotation method for each axis (e.g., slewing ring, shaft + pillow blocks, etc.)
→ Optional: Approximate BOM or rough part costs

No firmware or electronics implementation is needed at this stage.
