A few questions (also for the related chassis render):

Has your team built this design? How well did it run?

How were the outer wheels supported? Was there any additional support for the middle pairs of wheels or just the transmission? It seems to me like you would have any issues with suspending that much load from a few pairs of standoffs, and some of the load would be supported by the axles and bearings, which would reduce the efficiency.

What is the weight of this design versus that of the same design using a COTS shifting gearbox and belts? How thick did you make the gearbox plates?

Thanks,
