Nah, I don't actually know how to engineer yet, I only just finished my first year in college!

But great post by you being actually objective!

To go against this, I believe 624 said that they cantilevered their grasshopper modules in 2014 without difficulty. Whether the fact that that was a grasshopper rather than full *Octocanum* played into that, I am not sure.

Interesting module, I would also like to see how cantilevering it works out. Make sure you test that before the season starts if you plan on having it as a possibility.

Re: pic: 6in Butterfly Module With Piston

Two things,
First, I too am skeptical of cantilevering the module for stability. I have no doubt that the plates would be fine structurally but I could see where your wheels may want to bend the module and possibly loosen some of the bolts as well as not turn smoothly.

Second, I assume the traction wheels are 3 in, am I right?

I am certainly no expert on this kind of drive and the cantilever may perform wonderfully, I would just have to see in running to be in full support of cantilevering the module. I love the idea behind this sort of drive train and I would love to see a video and real life weight once you actually have it working.

Also relevant is which wheel set -- traction or omni -- was on the pivot axle.
