Hey thanks for the feedback guys!
I'm glad to hear some discussion about support going round!
I'm working on several different ideas for transferring the force around, I'll post some of them later. But for now, This should do OK.
The Bearing Block at the top of the wheel module is about 3x3" with a 5/8" shaft in the center. I hadn't thought of the idea of laying the motors vertically, that's a good one tytus.
I'm afraid that some of the (mentors!) on my team are already coming up with ways to "Shoot down" my idea, and I haven't even gotten it fully out yet!

I really wanted to stray away from beveled bears as much as possible. I think that if I try Tytus' idea, mounting the motors vertically, that should remove the top set on each wheel assembly.

I'm still iffy about using miter gears. BTW, do these look like they should work ok for this system:

Go to MSCdirect.com and enter
36682789
in the search bar, and select MSC Part # for the search terms.

These are the best I could find so far, with the price listed.

Anyway, I guess I'll start drafting up v3.0!
Thanks for the feedback guys, it really helps!
