Having pulleys at different heights around the can will make belt driving the one gear much easier. Have a look at micro-V belts; they have excellent grip without needing much tension and the pulleys are no harder to make than a regular V pulley, particularly if your lathe has a DRO.
This is going to be great, you've been looking at 'The Ringmaster' bear in mind the ring will be super costly to make. I'm looking forward to seeing the finished beast.

Lots of progress since the last update (mostly prompted by the ridiculous timescale).
We have now finished the armor design and how to do the teeth on the ring.

Now just to work out how all the internals will be mounted!
Our application should be in on Tuesday.
It looks like a demonic Oreo
You could make the teeth stronger and easier to mount with a small alteration to the ring:
If you add some ramps (light grey) around the teeth to form a flat bottomed pocket, the teeth will be easier to fit and weld to the ring and should be a little more resistant to tearing out.
you should try sponsorship from Oreo's

For some reason i never thought to cut the ring with flats on it lol.It looks like a demonic Oreo

Are those ramps part of the cut ring i take it?
Yes, I just made them a different colour to make it more obvious the ring was thicker.
I'd really just dump the omni drive system and go conventional with 2wd. You've got enough of a pain in the arse building a ring spinner powered by brushless motors.
