Here are some pictures of the model for a more visual approach. If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Just send me a PM asking for the gear ratios for the steering and I'll try to get them to you as quickly as possible.

Could you talk more about the slip ring design? I was surprised to learn you guys were using that over a coaxial setup. What benefits does it give you? And how does it work?
