As you guessed they are actually *too* long. I understand that my SHRIMP is
very demanding in parts: 10 universal joints, 6 gearboxes, 7 motors... not
to talk of more than 20 16x beams. I'd really like to see a more compact and
less demanding design. Maybe transferring motion along the axle that support
the two side wheel groups you could save three motors and some UJs.
