Re: pic: Don't do this. It's a bad idea.

Wouldn't this work better with constant velocity joints (rather than universal joints)?

And are you using the universal joint as two of the members in a four-bar linkage that holds up the wheel? If so, isn't it just going to deflect to the maximum? (Or am I missing a spring somewhere?)

This would be a fun stock design to keep around...just to tempt people when FIRST decides to give us some real obstacles.
