1. A method of rotationally mixing a substance comprising:
mounting a carriage to a drive unit for rotation about a first axis, the carriage comprising:
an arm including a first end, a second end spaced apart from the first end, and a support body extending between the first and second ends, the support body being coupled to the drive unit;
a drive line including a plurality of pulleys coupled to the arm and a belt routed around the pulleys, wherein the plurality of pulleys includes at least a pair of first pulleys coupled to the support body of the arm, and a pair of second pulleys coupled to a frame;

mounting a basket on the first end of the arm;
positioning a substance to be mixed in the basket and rotating the basket about a second axis relative to the first axis; and
coupling the belt to a housing and to the basket such that rotation of the arm about the first axis drives rotation of the basket about the second axis, thereby mixing a substance positioned within the basket.
