I'm really liking the side hanging mechanism. I'd love to see a video of it in action.

COG was our biggest concern from the students initial proposal. Calculations from conceptual model to what you see today worked with keeping weight in strategic locations. It can not go over speed bumps in full speed but it makes it over. Thank you for the comments. Bottom-line, COG should be a concern for anyone attempting something similar.
