thanks again for the kind feedback, the good suggestions and
especially for mentioning the upright mod.
im pretty sure two dogs are possible. right now im tweaking one to work with
one wheel, and if that works i can make the requested MP version.
a testrun with the upright technic worked so well it became a new mod.
so here as little teaser:

now make the lower sphere two, increase upper sphere diameter, add a head oh, i thought i told already.
well, i didnt invent this, so i'll explain it of course.
first test looked like this:
O <-- sphere
* <-- joint
O <-- you know
two spheres connected by a joint, in different heights.
now these spheres get a equal constant thrust,
the upper one up plus the gravitational pull,
the lower one down, keeping this simple thing in balance,
even if flipped.
