Patrick,
Are you referring to potential for the force vector of a wheel to change if the pods deflect under load, leading to the forces from the wheels not summing correctly? I hadn't though of this before. Do you think this could be solved with feedback from the follower wheels/gyro?
Or did you have something else in mind?
