That's... outstanding!

It’s science baby

See a problem you guys have is as most of your designs are wheels, it leads to more chances to fail.
think about it, you are trying to get a wheel ( something designed to roll and causing it to have a lot of friction) to gain speed over large distances, so when you get up to high speeds it has a high chance to fail due to constant contact with the ground that likes to turn in to a sand pit at those speeds.

you want to minimalise that contact so when you really get to speeds you can just fkin wham down on to the ground giving you hundreds of meters a second of speed

I bow to this (muttering to myself "ah, he applied 'LOGIC'... well, everybody could have done THAT" )

Hehehehehahahehhahehehehahahah

Danny you suck. Lol.

That was not my intention for sure.

I know, and for the record, I'm not offended

Exactly. Very Well executed. Also, having a wide mechanism gives you even more torque than a short one, like a wheel.

If I were you I would keep the capsules in the extremes, while keeping the Center as Light as possible.

Woah! You guys sliced the Sound Barrier with just Torque!
