Super, the reason I was asking was we had created a 7th wheel for Lunacy that was one of the reasons we won the Rockwell Control Award at Chesapeake. The wheel goes up and down to contact the floor. In our case with it down we could also spin, causing the moon rock trailer to snap out of the sights of a dumper. We were one of the lowest scored on teams last year.

Good luck with the 5th wheel, it's a cool kicker idea!
