Is it me or are there only one of those really huge drive wheels? It looks like the left side is lacking one. :confused:

Havign a bigger wheel on the left side would make turning a lot easyer. That is what oval dirt track racers do sometimes in my area.

The 80" rule is horizontal dimension not vertical, you can go as high as you want (with the ceiling of the venue being a limiting factor).

Looking forward to seeing this in action at VCU as well.

I was talking about when they have the arm out at 90 degrees, I tried to design an arm early on exactly like this with the dual 4-bar linkage but could never get around the 80" horizontal rule. I was wondering how they solved it?
