Kaj,

Here are some links to similar 6wd drivetrains:

The guy seems to know what he's doing, except for the fact that he seems to having something against ground clearance. There's some epic story about how his 2009 Curie division finalist drivetrain got high-centered on a flat field...and how he fixed it by building a drivetrain with even less ground clearance in 2011. Then again, in 2011 he made the Galileo finals at Champs.

I think the key is less ground clearance = more success.

There is no doubt in my mind, that if you can finally figure out a way to have negative ground clearance, a trip to Einstein is in the books.

P.S. Honestly Kaj, you're now more in a position to give advice on these matters as opposed to receive it. I don't know too many students OR mentors who have actually designed, sourced, machined, assembled, and driven IN COMPETITION as many quality drivetrains as you. Ian Mackenzie, Tristan Lall or Hinkel Yeung can't even boast resumes as extensive - certainly not as students.

P.P.S. Ground Clearance
