How does that setup work with the needed rotation of the module since the cylinder wouldn't be able to pivot anymore? The change in distance isn't that much, but that still doesn't sound like the best thing for the piston.

I love the idea, I literally smacked myself on the forehead after reading your post... It made me feel foolish for not thinking of it first
