Re: pic: Madtown Marauders DT of DOOM-2

Interesting idea. I'd love to see models of it (I can't make out some finer details in that render). I like the idea, but I'm seeing a few issues:
-See if you can figure out how to do this without motorizing the joint. This might be a case for pneumatics, but the ideal solution would be to design it in such a way that the natural action of the joint is to flex upward if you hit an obstacle. I'm not sure I can explain it better than that.
-Gear ratios. What's the ratio and, what kind of gears (material, pitch, etc).
-How long is this DT? Are you accounting for the scrub on the outer wheels? Seems like a good place for omnis.
-What's holding this thing together? Rivets? Screws? Welds?

I'll have more questions, but I'm afraid I'll start getting into minutia. Good Rev0. I can't wait to see Rev1.
