If it is a high traction game (typically they are), do not underestimate the bending forces going into each module.

We used nylon bushings for the top bearing support, and then made a round delrin plate as the lower support and lateral load reaction. The low traction this year did not require the support as much, but this is a design that should work well with high traction too.

One of the most important things to figure out is what tools you have to make your pods. We went with a Wildstang esque sheet metal fabrication because it is easiest for our kids to make. We also did a sheet metal frame. I am not saying that is the way to go for everyone, but that is what worked for us.
