Re: A new drivetrain Idea?

Based on the drawings I've seen in this thread, isn't this type of design going to violate rule <R08>

"...In other words, after the start of the match the robot may expand up to a maximum volume of 60 inches by 60 inches by 60 inches."

Granted, this was a specific rule for 2006, but you have to keep such rules in mind for future designs. And now to comment on the design, I'm not quite sure how this is an advantage or improvement over a crab or mechanum design. It seems much more complex to make a completely hinged system.
