When trying to build things like wall girders or computer frames, a message pops up that says you can't build them because the motorized wheelchair is in the way.

The regular wheelchair does not have these issues at least to my knowledge.

This appears to be an oversight. So I'd like to this changed so that the motorized wheelchair is treated the same as the regular wheelchair.

I don't know all of the items that have this problem but again, it's things like wall girders or computer frames. Metal bar grilles are fine though.

If the regular wheelchair doesn't do this it might be unintentional & hence a bug report, since the motorized chair is supposed to be an upgrade

That's what I might have thought. But like this is my first post on this forum and so I dunno.

I'm not sure why you'd like to limit building in both wheelchairs, instead of removing the limit entirely. They're already so needlessly slow most people won't use them.

I think the message with building is simply a side-effect of the structures being built on top of you and the code looking for other structures (which the wheelchair presumably is) to prevent overlap. If you could build on adjacent tiles then it wouldn't be an issue.

I want it the other way around. The wheelchair can build but the motorized wheelchair cannot. I would like to see the motorized wheelchair able to build as well. It seems like an oversight on the creation of the motorized wheelchair. I want the limit removed.

This is a side effect of something we do to stop machine stacking.
You should report it on github

Okay, will do.
