Idea: Combination sit-down driving and showcase style cabinet

That was the main problem. The height difference for happy viewing on both
standup and sitdown is HUGE.
If you move the monitor back a bit... you make the entire assembly Very deep,
taking up lots of space. You could tilt the monitor I guess.
When I had designed it... it was with smaller monitors in mind, thus you would
feel comfortable when driving... and then the control panel moved in when you
were standing so that the monitor was not binocular length away.
I think the concept could be simplified by scrapping the fold up, and making the
monitor assembly simply lift up and down. The base unit could then be pushed in
and out manually.
I think the reason I went with fold up bars, was to avoid the pedestal unit from
sliding during heavy gameplay.
Rubber feet and some sandbags might resolve that issue. Just makes moving it
a bit more effort.

If that is the case with the monitor height then this would probably be the route to go down. Yeah it means two mechanisms, but the one in the original sketch would concern me due to the weight distribution involved and the potential for collapsing. Good call.
