After weeks (or maybe months) of searching I was going to build a taitorama based cab. But then I thought the Centipede design was much cooler.
Then I ended up doing something a bit more freestyle. I think it might need some tweaking. But what are your thoughts on this shape as a starting point?
I'm not sure whether to build the CP unit with board 'on top' of the extending arms ... or ... inbetween them. I plan to extrude the CP out a bit to make
it a bit more comfortable for the players.

If your going to mame it with 6 or so buttons for 2 players you might need to extend the cp a bit. I built my cp on the inside and it gets quite crowded with me and the wife especially when stools are involved.

If you don't try, you have no chance at innovation

Looks alot like Ond's metropolis
Plans are in the first post, if you didnt want to re-create the wheel.
