Nice size! I like the addition of the potentiometers to tweak some variables.

How does it float in the air ? Is it around some transparent acrylic ?

There are attached steel strive, you can not see in the dark.
I have programmed something like a failsafe switch. Is this LOW after a reset, preset variable to take effect. If it is set to LOW after setting potentiometer, these are maintained (until reset).
I look if I have a video in which I test the pots and photos of the track in the light.
