Claim Text:
1. An apparatus comprising a first set of components, comprising: a first belt-pulley-arm (BPA), comprising a first end, a second end, a central region, a long axis, a short axis, and a first gear, wherein the first gear is housed within and rotationally attached to a region near the second end of the BPA, and the axis of rotation of the gear is substantially perpendicular to the long axis of the BPA; a first geared-hub-arm (GHA), comprising a first end, a second end, a central region, and one or more first GHA gears housed within the first GHA, wherein one of the first GHA gears comprises a first drive shaft which is configured to interact with a first wheel of a vehicle; a first upper triangulated arm (UTA), comprising a first end, a second end, a central region, a long axis, and a short axis, wherein the second end of the first UTA is configured to attach to a chassis of the vehicle; and a first belt; wherein (1) the first end of the first BPA is pivotally attached to the central region of the first GHA; (2) the first end of the first UTA is pivotally attached to the first end of the first GHA; (3) the first belt circumscribes the long axis of the first BPA, and is configured to associate rotational motion between the first gear of the first BPA and a gear of the first GHA and a second set of components comprising: a second BPA, comprising a first end, a second end, a central region, a long axis, and a short axis; a second GHA, comprising a first end, a second end, a central region, and one or more second GHA gears housed within the second GHA, wherein one of the second GHA gears comprises a second drive shaft extending in the same direction as the first drive shaft and configured to interact with a second wheel of the vehicle; a second UTA, comprising a first end, a second end, a central region, a long axis, and a short axis, wherein the second end of the second UTA is configured to attach to the chassis on the same side as the first UTA; and a second belt, wherein (1) the first end of the second BPA is pivotally attached to the central region of the second GHA; (2) the first end of the second UTA is pivotally attached to the first end of the second GHA; (3) the second belt circumscribes the long axis of the second BPA, and is configured to associate rotational motion between the first gear of the first BPA and a gear of the second GHA; and (4) the second end of the second BPA and the second end of the first BPA are pivotally attached to one another.
