      How do I make the cylinder stay in side the wheel when it turns? Would like cylinder to roll in the slot as the wheel rotates.

      have tried lots of shapes, nothing I have tried has worked.

      Thanks, Larry

                  Very good. Can you contact me please (see file name.), I am not sure how to describe how I need for this to act. I added to your file but I can't get it to work right. I must be over looking something.

                  Thank you very much for your work, LEE

                    1. The engine connection must be at the center of the wheel, not away.
                    2. Some settings should be as I do.
                    3. If you ask this question "http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=64521&start=60" you can get better solutions.

                      Thanks, I slowed the rotation and it works. How do I make the cylinder fall back into the slot at the top position as it rotates? Does it have something to do with centrifugal force?

                      I very much appreciate your help, Larry

                        In my opinion, it is from the centrifugal force.
                        I can not help you with this because I do not have top level knowledge. If you ask this question "http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=323&t=64521&start=60" you can get better information.
