Re: 2583's Octocanum Modules

make sure to look at the geometry when the colson is just coming off the ground. The pic you posted is looking at after the module has been shifted, and the angles are different.

Also, unless I'm missing something here, the traction position is the more problematic one. the cylinders are also fighting gravity with the colsons down, but now they are "pulling" so they have less force. Also, it appears the geometry here is worse for the cylinders.

Lastly, how did you calculate your top speed reduction?
