I really like your articulation setup. I'm admiring the elegance and simplicity of the long connecting link between the two up on top (using the height of the module as your torque arm).
I struggled with something similar in the pre-season, and just ended up using 2 cylinders (I got too caught up in using the cylinder without a connecting link somewhere inbetween the modules, but the force vectors never worked out. This is a much better way to solve the problem!
Kudos!
