Their early versions is actually where I'm getting some of my ideas, mainly the sprocket made as part of the module for the turning and partly the design overall. Currently our design is a cylinder with a cim close to the top with gears going through the inside and a chain going from the last gear axle to the wheel. It will sit on a lazy Susan bearing(if I can snag a couple before first choice closes) and a large sprocket an inch or so above it built into the cylinder. I'll post the inventor file once I get it cleaned up enough to be judged by the far more knowledgeable eyes such as those found on CD
