M05 design process.

Problem 1: M03 Servo too high.
Solution: Move servo lower.

Problem 2: Motor in the way
Solution: put servo in the back

Problem 3: Servo cannot access steering
Solution: Stand servo back up, add long tie rod, add steering bellcranks

Problem 4: Motor in the ideal spot for steering bellcrank mounting spots
Solution: Move the bellcrank fowards

Problem 5: Steer rods now slightly out of line with knuckles
Solution: Have the steer rods sweep backwards to meet knuckle

Problem 6: Ackermann now all weird
Solution: Focus marketing campaign on the benefits of lower CG
