Update 15: Eureka!

Source: My phone

We did it reddit. It functions. It's smaller. And it functions fairly competently too. I think that I am going to have this model stay the same, as sort of a "function" model, and create another model that is just for show, the "form" model that will be used along side this for the presentation. This is the plan elusively because the battery is still too big, and while I can likely fix this, the cost and effort wouldn't really be worth it. But yeah, it finally works, yippee!
