I have to say, this is a really beautiful design. It looks just like 971, but with gears instead of belts. I'm a huge fan.

Just a few questions, perhaps they've been addressed elsewhere. Any reason you've chose 10 wheels? I don't see any advantage for 10 over 6, and having more wheels carries cost and weight (not to mention potential turning) disadvantages. Also, I'd assume these parts are being laser cut? Waterjetting or turret punching those parts would take a lot of sponsor time.
